Book Reviews of Second Helpings of Roast Chicken

Book Review: Superb book of recipes and reminiscences
Summary: 5 Stars

Like Mr. Hopkinson, I am Bury born and bred. My mother shopped at the same tripe shop as his grandmother; I celebrated my 21st birthday at M. Chambas' restaurant ("The Normandy", Mr. Hopkinson - you'd have been laughed out of town on a rail in the 60's if you'd referred to it in Bury as "La Normandie"!)where he later cut his teeth - my mother, who taught at an hotel school, drove my father, who was paying for the meal, crazy by "costing" the meal as it proceeded - the salad was the final straw - we never, alas, returned!

I have lived for many years on a different continent and would love his books, regardless of the recipes, for the many reminders of my youth that they contain. That said, this and his original roast chicken book, are a wonderful source of varied, instructive and utterly usable recipes. I cannot recommend them too highly.

Summary of Second Helpings of Roast Chicken

In this follow-up to the smash sensation Roast Chicken and Other Stories, Simon Hopkinson re-creates his winning formula by taking forty-seven completely new favorite ingredients--from apples to cocoa, lobster to truffles, and fennel to mint--and presenting an exotic array of tastes and ingredients from all over the world. His recipes, which have in common the love of good food prepared to please rather than simply impress, are drawn not only from classic French and British cooking but also from around the globe, from Austria to Thailand and India to Spain.

This exquisite compilation of recipes includes:

  • Yorkshire Pudding with Sweet White Sauce and Golden Syrup
  • Piedmontese Potato Gnocchi with Parmesan Cream
  • Thai Pork Rissoles with Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce
  • Creamed Scampi with Saffron Pilaf
  • And a new spin on his classic Roast Chicken recipe . . .
Second Helpings of Roast Chicken is sure to please anyone seeking new and inspiring recipes in addition to more of Hopkinson's classic musings on food, which his fans have grown to adore.
