Book Reviews of Wraps: Easy Recipes for Handheld Meals

Book Review: Awesomely delicious!
Summary: 5 Stars

For all you "wraps" lovers out there (as in the adulteration of food by combining all kinds of stuff and putting them in fancy or plain tortillas . . . as in we used to call them burritos!) read on!

Wraps, Easy Recipes for Handheld Meals by Mary Corpening Barber, Sara Corpening and Lori Lyn Narlock, published by Chronicle Books in San Francisco is filled with wonderful recipes that are indeed truly easy to make. They include breakfast, lunch, dinner and yes, even dessert wraps. (I can't wait to try one of the dessert ones! I love anything in a tortilla!) Last night, I made "King Creole," a tribute to my Cajun past and it was awesome!

Beautiful color photographs by Frankie Frankeny accompany many of the recipes. My kitchen cabinet had most of the ingredients (although I had to run out and buy onion powder and bay leaves) and flavored tortillas are available at a number of specialty grocery stores. Of course, plain flour tortillas can be used on all of the recipes.

You ought to have seen me dancing around the kitchen last night as I gleefully declared, "I MADE A WRAP!"

Bon Appetit! Vickie

Summary of Wraps: Easy Recipes for Handheld Meals

What's the difference between a wrap and a burrito? The burrito was invented in northern Mexico as a convenient way for cowboys to pack a lunch. Filled with traditional Mexican ingredients, it's become practically a staple food. A wrap, on the other hand, is like a burrito with frequent flier miles. International flavor? That's just the beginning -- wraps accept no limitations in the pursuit of delicious variety. Why not try an Italian wrap with pine nuts and bell pepper? Or a Thai wrap flavored with ginger and curry? Why not an eggs Benedict wrap? Painless to prepare and packed with flavor, wraps make a great breakfast on the go, lunch at the park, or quick dinner. From Cajun spice to vegetarian delights, Wraps features dozens of recipes for festive combinations and extraordinary fillings that will change forever the way you think about burritos. Isn't it time you embraced the greater potential of the tortilla?
