TASTE LIKE CHICKEN

CHICKEN IS THE MOST UNIVERSAL OF ALL MEATS, well, this book, really lends itself to elevating the run in the mill, bird affair. A few time consuming techniques, but it's for special occasions. If you are looking for twists and turns on family favorites, this is a great collection. I suggest owning a convection oven, and high quality stainless cookware, when making most of these dishes.

Fabulous Book for those who love to cook!

I have made several recipes in this book and they are all fabulous! I especially love the qucik meals section for weeknight cooking. The are all super easy, fast and delicious!

Excellent Recipes

This book is right on par with the other titles in the series. Well-written, great recipes and beautiful photography. The perfect roast chicken and farmhouse chicken noodle soup are delicious. My only disappointment is the chicken basics section. I would've like more photos with the techniques, but that seems to be the style of this series.

It will make the way you cook chicken seem much more entertaining.
