In a second collaboration between chef and food stylist Berkley and photographer Jacobson ( Berries ), apples star in every stage of the menu, from soups and accompaniments to desserts (where one would expect the apple to shine) and entrees, where the apple even submits to stuffing (as in baked Cortland apples with yam filling). Beautifully photographed food, shot mainly in casual settings, does justice to the recipes. Some--like oatmeal pancakes with Jonathan apples and pecans--are strictly comfort food; others reflect a current craving for "light and healthy." Still others, like barbecued shrimp with Jonathan apple and quince chutney, demonstrate the author's flair for the full-flavored and exotic.
