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?

Summary: Pretty, But Disappointing
Comment: The photography is beautiful, but the title is misleading if you equate 'easy' with 'quick' or 'convenient'. This book has some wonderful recipes that would be great for a brunch or other planned get-together, but it is totally unsuited as a guide for your average take-along meal. Most of the wraps don't travel well, although they are good when eaten immediately after being made, and many of the recipes can be fairly time-consuming. The best recipes are in the breakfast section - if you have time to make them, the Apple Jack wraps are great for feeding a busy family as they rush out the door on a weekday morning. Hot oatmeal on the go!

Summary: A great book with yummy recipies
Comment: This is a great book, I made a few recipies in it and really I only had one wrap that turned out bad. Other than that, everything in this book is really easy to make and from what I've had, the food has been excellent.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fun book
Comment: This has a fun, international and cuisine-style selection, but with minimal exotic-ingredient searching. Sometimes I even make the recipes - dare I say it - without the wrap. Sometimes you want a cookbook that has authentic, exotic recipes, but other times you want a fun, easy way to sample basic versions of different style food - Creole, Thai, German, French, South American, Jamaican, etc.

Summary: Good bood arrived in Bad shape
Comment: The book is excellent, but the vendor has managed to leave quite a few of his/her marks on it. I supposedly bought a "like new" copy, but "much much shabbily used" would be more like it.
The recipes themselves are adventurous, versatile and achievable.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great recipes for picnics or food on the go.
Comment: I do a lot of hiking & bike riding, and I bought this book to get some ideas for lunches that I could make in the morning and take with me. As for the previous review's comments, this book does have some recipes with unusual ingredients, but most are easily found in an average grocery store. This book does not promise to be a pantry-cookbook (in other words, you may not have all the ingredients on hand). What it does deliver is many great recipes for wraps. Some of my favorites are the "Pizza Pie" wrap, "Ice Cream wrapwich" and the Ceasar wrap (called "Render unto caesar"). Give this book a try and I think you will find several if not many recipes that you will want to make again and again.
