Perfectly Roasted Chicken - Softcover

Call it an encore or a delicious "chicken part deux" -- just be aware that if you already have a copy of "A Bird in the Oven," Mindy Fox's award-winning 2010 tome, you already have this book. Fox's new, hot-off-the-press "Perfectly Roasted Chicken" is simply the paperback imprint. It may be a repeat, but it's repeating a winner with 20 ways to roast a chicken and dozens of sides, soups and salads by the food editor of La Cucina Italiana magazine. Some of the recipes -- roasted parsnips with za'atar, for example, or asparagus and peas with lemon and tarragon -- are designed to accompany the glorious chicken, roasted with fresh basil-lemon butter or berbere spices. Others showcase the tasty leftovers in, say, a Thai coconut soup or rice salad with mint pesto and peas.--Jackie Burrell "San Jose Mercury News, 6/26/13 "
