Sky's claim to fame began when Oprah Winfrey ate a Curried Chicken Sandwich on Spicy White Pepper Jack Bread (now the "O Special") from the author's Art Cafe and Bakery in San Luis Obispo, CA. Oprah proclaimed Sky "the best sandwich maker in America," and she promptly subsidized the caf . In addition to recipes for breads, filled sandwiches, and sandwich fillings, Sky here offers recipes for sauces, salads and dressings, soups, breakfasts, sides, and desserts. This is not a guide for novice cooks or for those who are thinking of weight control. A basic white bread contains both milk and half-and-half, and there is no warning that the 16 cups of flour used in making four loaves of said bread will not fit in a standard mixer. Sky recommends using butter because "15% of the fatty acids in butter are used by vital organs as an energy source." And use it she does-the recipe for two sandwiches of Grilled Peanut Butter and Raspberry Jam with Potato Chips on French Bread has eight tablespoons of the stuff, plus a cup each of peanut butter and raspberry jam and two cups of crushed potato chips. This and the Two-Ton Bitter-sweet Chocolate Fudge Cake are not on Oprah's diet. Sweets are also used with abandon in traditional sandwich fillings-tuna and turkey salads contain brown sugar and honey. The book is visually pleasing with many full-page color photographs of the food that will inspire readers to cook. Recommended for libraries that cater to adventurous and experienced bakers and cooks.-Christine Bulson, SUNY at Oneonta Lib. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
