Creative, useable, AND delicious

I've been using this cookbook for about a month, making mostly salads (it's late summer), and am pleased with the recipes so far. I have been cooking longer than I'd like, and for health reasons we eat chicken often. So I was pretty desperate for some new ideas, and am pleased with these recipes. The salads are imaginative and delicious, and best of all the recipes WORK without me having to fiddle around much. (So often you have to guess what the writer or food stylist actually meant for you to do, or they leave out a critical step, or you just know you have to add more garlic.) I look forward to the casseroles and soups this fall. It's not the very BEST cookbook I've ever used (that might be the Sarah Leah Chase Open House cookbooks or the New Way to Cook). But I feel it deserves 5 stars because it is so practical and helpful. Thank you Mr. Rosenfeld.

What's not to love

I love chicken but do not like to cook (at all). Since not cooking is not an option, this book makes the dreaded chore easy. The recipes are simple and delicious - the best kind - and the perfect way to disguise leftovers for those people in my family who won't eat them.
