5.0 out of 5 stars good chicken recipes, May 8, 2003

If you like chicken, this is a good book for you to have. We have only made a couple of the recipes, but they were easy and delicious. Although most are salad, there are other chicken and poultry recipes here, too, so you can satisfy diverse appetites. This book would make a good hostess gift, since everyone can use new chicken recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chicken Must Have, May 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Chicken Salad: 50 Favorite Recipes (Paperback)

There's more to chicken salad than mayo and celery. This book has many new angles proving that there's more than one way to pluck a chicken.

We particularly liked the "Birds of Another Feather" chapter which uses other poultry in its recipes.

This review is from: Chicken Salad: 50 Favorite Recipes (Paperback)

While the best quality of this book is the recipes, the second best part is the references to local places throughout the book. Living in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire when I found the book made it all the better because I know where Moulton Farm is and where she has tea in Meredith. Definitely a must have for all of the fabulous New England cooks, and those of us not in New Hampshire any longer but welcome the references to a beautiful area.
