I think to omit three of the five cookbooks of John Thorne, probably America's best food writer of the past generation (I would count James Peterson as probably America's best cookbook writer of the past generation, even more important that the very respectable Bittman brand, which is getting a bit too full of itself and losing touch with what made it good originally), is a serious oversight - they could be grouped together as one (Serious Pig, Pot on the Fire and Mouth Wide Open were published in this decade; Outlaw Cook and Simple Cooking date from the prior 5 years). Whatever Thorne writes is not only deeply informative and useful to home cooks, it will invariably seep into professional kitchen practice and food writing elsewhere.
