I've had my copy of this book for almost 10 years, and I never get tired of the variety that it contains. Face it, we've all become more dependent upon lean protein like chicken, but for many of us, that can get pretty darn boring night after night. McNair has responded to this problem with a broad range of recipes that are guaranteed to please all tastes. (I've never run across the typo mentioned by a previous reviewer, but anyone who cooks on a regular basis should be able to spot such a misprint immediately, if it exists.) McNair's recipes have been able to withstand the test of time in my house, and I'm happily anticipating his next volume--FAVORITES!

This is a great book filled with some of my favorite recipes, especially "Sweet & Tangy Chicken" (p. 64), "Chicken Scallopini with Mushrooms" (p. 48), and "Chicken Salad w/ Hearts of Artichoke & Palm" (p. 32). Anyone who is into cooking is probably already familiar with McNair's books, and like all his other books, this one also ranks 2 thumbs up!!!

This soft-cover book contains some wonderful chicken recipes (the chicken tamale pie is my personal favorite). And the photography alone makes you hungry.

This is my first "McNair book," but it won't be my last!

I collect cookbooks, and cook almost every day. And like most cooks am usually looking for new and interesting ways to prepare basic foods. This is the kind of book that relies on quality not guantity. Each recipie has a photograph, instructions, even stories about how the recipie was developed. Which made it the kind of book I usually look for. The problem is that, like most cooks, I try a recipie or two and if it is not great I quit! Well the first recipie I tried had, I think a typographical error. It read 3 to 4 teaspoons salt. Which I think should have been 3/4. Well you can imagine how dinner was that night! I feed it to the dog. The dog threw up! I do not enjoy spending time and money making the dog throw up! Never again will I buy one of his cookbooks. Don't they review before they publish? Anyway I can't reccomend this book for anyone.
