Review

"'A Chicken in Every Pot' by Kate Heyhoe offers some innovative ways to cook chicken....FlavorPrints are what sets Heyhoe's book apart from the hundreds of other chicken cookbooks on the market. A FlavorPrint is an array of seasonings that characterize a particular cuisine. It's what makes Thai food taste 'Thai' and puts the 'ole' in chicken to make it suitable for Mexican tortillas, Heyhoe said.

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

By	Rhonda (California) - See all my reviews

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.
