I knew Publishers Weekly reviewed cookbooks, but I didn't realize they featured recipes, too—particularly not recipes with names like "Kate's Impossibly Fudgy Brownies with Chili and Sea Salt" (from Melissa Clark's upcoming cookbook In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite). These suckers are moving to the top of my to-do list: there are several World Cup matches I'm planning on watching in the immediate future, and nothing improves my enjoyment of watching super-fit dudes sprinting around in shorts like a recipe involving two full sticks (plus two extra tablespoons!) of butter.
