I just received this book today, and I enjoyed the vibrant pictures that accompanied this book. I did not even start to think which one I should try making first, I think it might be the "This Lox Rocks" one (you'll see what I mean when you see the picture for this one). I give this book 4 stars, only because I wished it had pictures for every recipe. I know that might be too much to ask, but I am a beginner, and I would like to see pictures with every recipe, just to make me feel more at ease. Nonetheless, this is a super-duper book and I suggest those of you that would like to add a nice addition to your recipe collection to go ahead and buy it. Great for little get-togethers at home, dinner parties, and just every day eating. Great Buy for just $10.97 too!!!!!

I really enjoy this book. It's very inspiring to look through. Most ingredients can be substituted. You could make a vegetarian version of almost all of the wraps. I made "German Enginerring" using smoky tempeh strips and sauerkraut instead of kielbasa. But for the "Rappin' with a Chick" I went all the way and used some organic chicken...it was delicious! When you pay careful attention to the quality of each ingredient, the results are well worth your effort. Each wrap is cleverly titled and many are pictured. Given the diversity of the recipes (cuisines from all over the world, as well as breakfast wraps and even ice cream wraps!) chances are you'll be able to take this book into the kitchen the moment it arrives and make yourself a wrap! This book also could be used to provide inspiration to give leftovers a second life. There are recipes where you could use leftover rice, potatoes, or even Thanksgiving turkey. If you love wraps, you should check out this book!

I bought this cookbook expecting it to have a few fun, easy recipes for wraps that I could toss together with stuff I had around the kitchen. Although the recipes and certainly the pictures look delicious, fun and easy they're not. It's not uncommon for recipes to have over a dozen ingredients. When I want to toss together a little lunch, I don't have time to track down 1/4 cup chopped pickled ginger or 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or 1/4 teaspoon orange oil. I have yet to make a single recipe from this book, despite having owned it for over nine months.
