In THE EPICURIOUS COOKBOOK (Clarkson Potter/Publishers; on sale October 30, 2012), Epicurious editor-in-chief Tanya Steel and her team of food editors culled their database of nearly 200,000 recipes and selected top-rated dishes that reflect how we cook and eat today; they sought make-ahead dishes, time-tested crowd-pleasers, fast and fresh dinners, and food that will tantalize vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free eaters.
