Have you ever gone to a wedding reception or a luncheon for a group you belong and when asked, “What would you like to eat?” Of course you were !!!

The problem is when you had been asked many of you reading this review had been at a loss for words; loss of words unless you already knew what it would be. But for those of you wind up hesitating in making your decision your best and safest bet would be chicken.

Why? The answer is because, there’s not too much that can go wrong with chicken, show more unless they somehow had undercooked it. At reception it would be a half chicken, either baked or roasted; at luncheons it would usually be one of the dishes using a chicken cutlet like: Marsala, Piccata, and or course Parmigiana.

The author of this book, J R Stevens, has broken the recipes into the basic categories of chicken dishes: Grilled, Pulled, Roasted/Baked, Pot Pies, Snacks and of course Salads.

The instructions the author gives his readers are simple, written so even the most novice of cooks should be able to prepare any of the decisions successfully. Along with the recipe readers are given the preparation time, cooking time, and the number of portions to be made. As for myself, there are several chicken dishes I can already prepare by memory. The book has several dishes my dear OH and I love to eat, but up to I didn’t possess a simple to follow recipe.

For helping even the most novice of cooks to increase their repertoire of dishes they can easily prepare, I’m giving this book 5 STARS. show less
