Is there a
more versatile ingredient for a host of recipes than chicken? Delia Smith is in
no doubt of the centrality of chicken to many really tempting dishes and
"The Delia Collection: Chicken" will
clearly be one of the most popular volumes in the four-volume "Delia
Collection". These recipes are culled from Delia's many years and, as in
"The
Delia Collection: Fish", Delia tackles everything from the straightforward,
such as an easily realised Oriental Chicken Waldorf Salad, to the more
ambitious (a tempting Thai Creamed Coconut Chicken with Thai Green Rice). But
nothing here is over-ambitious and with Delia's straight-forward approach,
everything here is easily achievable. The food is never plain though; some
recipes are mouth-wateringly exotic. Chicken Kebabs Marinated with Whole
Spices, Yoghurt and Fresh Coriander Chutney, for instance, is a
winner. |
