5.0 out of 5 stars Best Chicken Cookbook, December 1, 2003

This review is from: A Chicken in Every Pot: Global Recipes for the Wold's Most Popular Bird (Capital Lifestyles) (Paperback)

After actually trying some of the recipes in A Chicken In Every Pot, I can wholeheartedly endorse this cookbook. The Barcelona Brown Bag Chicken is something a non-professional cook like me can do easily, and still impress my family and friends. And the Bangladesh Drums are to die for. The recipes are also great for someone who doesn't like to cook, like my husband, or for someone who loves to experiment with cooking, like me. This book's wide variety of international recipes shows you how to turn chicken into something you'll want to eat every night. Very few of these recipes appear in other chicken cookbooks I've seen, so you'll want to have this book in your collection.
