Hot Chicken: [a Cookbook]

I bought both Hot Wok and Hot Chicken years ago and am buying them AGAIN now because I have actually worn out my copies. These recipes are authentic, easy to make and absolutely delicious. So happy to find them still in print. Virtually every ingredient can be found in a large supermarket; the illustrations are gorgeous and I have not found a single dish that did not taste remarkable!

Hot Chicken, Hot Pasta, Hot BBQ- I own all 3 of these and have broken the bindings I use so often. If you like a little spice in your life and more in your meals- you can't go wrong. Great recipies and they tell you how to cook as well. I have about 25 cook books and these 3 are the only ones that are easy to reach.

A friend gave me one in the series and it is brilliant. The recipes are not the same old boring ingredients. These recipes are not hot, they are creative, exciting and a delight to serve. In all 4 books, we haven't found one we didn't like. In a kitchen with over 200 cookbooks, we use them all the time to please ourselves and dazzle our guests.

I have a lot of cookbooks, but I tend to fall back on the Hot Chicken cookbook regularly. For a while, I was making my way through the book with an event I called "Friends Thursday". I'd invite different friends over and make one of the dishes from the book. If they were the kind of friends who watched "Friends" we'd set up TV tables and cozy up to the show. If not, I'd socialize over dinner and then watch "Friends" on videotape afterward. I slowly made my way through every recipe in the book.

Hot Chicken is terrific. Preparing Hugh's recipes and enjoying the mouthwatering flavors and textures is a true culinary experience! Teri's photos are beautiful and creative. His tips for advance preparation make this perfect for entertaining. Hugh never ceases to amaze...
