Book Reviews of Roast Chicken And Other Stories

Book Review: Editing Makes a Difference
Summary: 4 Stars

I love to cook and try new things. I've learned Indian cooking through cookbooks...good thing. Although I love the layout and concept of the book...if I didn't know better there would have been no onions in my curry! "Mrs. Pringle's Kofta Curry" is delicious. However, there are no instructions about adding back those deliciously browned onions and garlic to the pan. Editing is everything in cookbooks. Careful please!

Summary of Roast Chicken And Other Stories

"Good cooking depends on two things: common sense and good taste."

In England, no food writer's star shines brighter than Simon Hopkinson's, whose breakthrough Roast Chicken and Other Stories was voted the most useful cookbook ever by a panel of chefs, food writers, and consumers. At last, American cooks can enjoy endearing stories from the highly acclaimed food writer and his simple yet elegant recipes.

In this richly satisfying culinary narrative, Hopkinson shares his unique philosophy on the limitless possibilities of cooking. With its friendly tone backed by the author's impeccable expertise, this cookbook can help anyone -- from the novice cook to the experienced chef -- prepare down-right delicious cuisine . . . and enjoy every minute of it!

Irresistible recipes in this book include:

  • Eggs Florentine
  • Chocolate Tart
  • Poached Salmon with Beurre Blanc
  • And, of course, the book's namesake recipe, Roast Chicken

Winner of both the 1994 Andr? Simon and 1995 Glenfiddich awards (the gastronomic world's equivalent to an Oscar), this acclaimed book will inspire anyone who enjoys sharing the ideas of a truly creative cook and delights in getting the best out of good ingredients.
