Summary: great Book
Review: I like the book because my husband and I both are on a low fat, low cholestrol, low sodium diet. We are looking for new recipes for chicken and also for fish.

Summary: Cream of Condensed Chicken Recipes
Review: Years ago, I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. Back then I never dreamed I'd be ordering a chicken cookbook just to come up with some new ideas for feeding my family. I have a fairly extensive cookbook collection already, but I can't resist a new one every now and then. Perhaps my criterion for what makes a good cookbook differs from others, but I despise the notion of adding Campbell's Cream of Condensed ANYTHING to a recipe. These recipes call for so many processed ingredients that it sounds like they were created in a laboratory, not a kitchen. Unfortunately, what the recipes lack in fresh ingredients they make up for in unoriginality. Take, for instance, the "Creamy Stroganoff Chicken Casserole." The first ingredient is "1 package of stroganoff sauce mix." Wow! Who'dda thunk it? While I am in the process of returning this particular selection to Amazon.com I must say that this book is probably well suited for those who wish to spend very little time in the kitchen, and more time in front of the computer. Perhaps they should just skip it and go directly to the frozen food section of their nearest grocery store.
