Book Description

Publication Date: March 20, 2007

Who doesn't love roast chicken? And the best part is that it's so easy to make. 150 Things to Make with Roast Chicken takes a good thing and makes it even better. Instead of one, roast two chickens (or a big roaster) on Sunday night and you've got leftover makings for at least one deliciously simple weeknight meal--choose from 150 recipes for casseroles, soups, stews, stir-fries, and rice and pasta dishes, as well as a raft of chicken salads and wraps and meal-worthy salads featuring chicken. And to keep things interesting, you can put a different spin on your roast chicken for almost every week of the year, with rubs, glazes, marinades, and sauces.

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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Any general interest cookbook library, especially those catering to busy working home cooks, needs this, December 14, 2008

This review is from: 150 Things to Make with Roast Chicken and 50 Ways to Roast It (Paperback)

Roast two chickens on Sunday and have a week of various meals using this menu planner - and if you think you'll tire of a week of roast chicken dishes, think again. 150 THINGS TO MAKE WITH ROAST CHICKEN offers huge variety, from slow-cooked Southern Spiced Chicken with Chipolte Sauce to a West African Chicken and Peanut Stew. It has no color photos, but the simple, quick dishes don't need them - any general interest cookbook library, especially those catering to busy working home cooks, needs this.
