Synopses & Reviews
Innovative chicken recipes paired with exquisite photos in the style of the author’s stunning blog, Adventures in Cooking.
Chicken is the most popular meat in the world and can be easily adapted to almost any cuisine, from rustic Italian dishes to Asian-inspired curries. Add to that its affordability, and you begin to understand why the average American consumes sixty pounds of chicken a year. Still, it can be challenging to think of new ways to cook the same old wings or chicken thighs. Then along comes Eva Kosmas Flores, creator of the acclaimed blog Adventures in Cooking. Her photography style is unparalleled; even more impressive are her 150 recipes. This is a book for avid home cooks who want to push their cooking to the next level with the best versions of classics like Chicken Marsala with Balsamic Caramelized Onions and Pork Belly or innovative temptations such as Korean Barbecue Drumsticks with Ginger-Pear Sauce. There are sections on chicken cooking techniques, how to make perfect stock, and more, making this the only book chicken lovers will ever need.

"With chicken as her canvas, Eva has created over a hundred works of art that have inspired me to do exactly as the Chick-fil-A billboard advises ("EAT MOR CHIKIN!"). Eva’s stunning photography and delicious recipes will encourage you to see this familiar ingredient in fresh new ways and bring more creativity into the kitchen. This is a book that will cause you to shout, 'Winner winner, chicken dinner!'" Molly Yeh, creator of My Name is Yeh
Review
"Chicken is the ubiquitous meat on tables around the world. It absorbs and mediates seasoning unlike any other animal protein. Eva’s recipes are as rich with flavor as her photographic style is rich in depth and saturated color. Combine the two and you have an enticing and informative entry to the poultry section of your cookbook collection. I know I’m adding it to mine." Evan Kleiman, chef, cookbook author, and host of Good Food on KCRW
