The best Poultry Cooking books: Reddit reviews

Oh man, this is good. Where do you get your ideas?

I also work in a conservative environment and always struggle with white elephant at Christmas because they make it soooo boring with like 5 different blankets and candles etc. I've moved on from the safe gift of wine because if I'm gonna waste a whole evening I need something more entertaining. Last year I did the 50 Shades of Chicken cook book. It was hilarious until the poor lady that barely speaks English picked it and no one would trade with her. :(

Pretty sure this is a legit book so...

This one was recommended when I bought my instant pot off of amazon so I included it on a whim, and everything I’ve made from it has been really good! I like how it helps you learn the different features of the pot too, by generally including a few of them in each recipe.

> discipline the parsley with a knife and mix it with a salty, acidic mustard dressing that complements the bird.

Reminds me of passages from this book: https://www.amazon.com/Fifty-Shades-Chicken-Parody-Cookbook/dp/0385345224

The recipes are mostly simple and straightforward. The introductory passages that precede each recipe are uh...not. This book is my go-to gag gift for anyone culinarily inclined. Here's a passage from the book, copy, pasted from that amazon page.

> The way his apron hangs from his hips already has me all wobbly. But as he coats my thighs with sticky liquid I can hardly contain myself. Is it the wine, or is my aroma starting to drive him crazy too? He heats me up fast, it won’t take much too?

> He heats me up fast, it won’t take much to finish me off now. His lips quirk up to a smile. My own juices are mixing with the coating and running all over the place. I get the strangest, sweetest, hedonistic feeling up and down. It’s epicureanism run wild!

> He spreads my thighs out on a plate. Sticky hands and at least five wet napkins. What will the housekeeper think? Who cares?

I found an old 1960s edition in a used book store, but they recently released a reprint. Highly recommended; it's basically a collection of Vincent Price's favorite restaurant recipes (along with actual menus) from around the world. Many of them are long gone, but quite a few remain, like The Ivy in London and Antoine's.

Treasury of Great Recipes on Amazon.

50 Shades of Chicken My old coworker gave this out for the company's white elephant a couple years back with some kitchen gadgets to go with it and it got stolen a couple of times.

I need to start thinking of Christmas gifts, I'm not sure if I'm going down to SC for Christmas this year but I am going back down in maybe a month or so, if I can leave stuff for my mom to open that would work out.

I didn't love mine until I started cooking from this cookbook. Every recipe I've tried from the book has been good. The only downside is the lack of pictures.

You can actually buy it on Amazon

I also recommend to you cooking with poo

Hello! My brother has really gotten into in this past year. I really need some help for gift giving, as I do not know the ways of wood nor how to work it, if anyone has any recommendations or even a general direction to point me in that'd be greatly appreciated. Also gag gifts are HIGHLY encouraged, as I love to cook and a few years back he got me this gem of a book and I still haven't recovered. Looking to spend around $50-$75 if possible but any advice is more than welcome. Thank you all!

I'm a crew chief, not far off from ammo maturity-wise...this is my go-to for deployed christmas gift

50 ways to eat cock

So for beginner cooks I really recommend the Betty Crocker cookbook. It's what I used when I was starting out on my own and it's great at teaching the basics. It has lots of photos and goes through a lot of basic techniques.

But for a classic family recipe of mine, I still use my grandma's meaty spaghetti sauce. With a few variations.

2 lbs ground beef 1 large onion (or 2 smaller), chopped small 2 cans tomato paste 2 cans tomato sauce 2 tsp each dried oregano, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt 2 Tbsp white sugar 1 Tbsp dijon mustard 2 bay leaves a bit of oil

Heat the oil in a large pan and brown the meat. That means put the meat in the pan and leave it for a good few minutes, untouched, until the underside forms a dark brown layer. Then stir it around until it's all cooked.

Remove the meat using a slotted spoon from the pan to a bowl temporarily. Add the onions to the pan and cook until soft.

Add onions, meat, and all other ingredients to a crock pot, stir, and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours. If you don't have a crock pot you can use a dutch oven on the stove on low for 3 to 4 hours (you can also brown the meat and onions in the same dutch oven).

The cooking time is approximate, this is an extremely forgiving recipe. Basically you can eat it when it looks ready.

Fuck it’s real. Also apparently a good cockbook. Er, cookbook.

A Treasury of Great Recipes, 50th... https://www.amazon.com/dp/1606600729?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This has great insight into the history of food in general. It’s recipes for fine dining during the convenience food era.

If you are looking for more ideas I recommend 50 Ways To Eat Cock. It is both incredibly amusing and has some great recipes in it!

Chicken & Charcoal is a cookbook that came out this month. On my to buy list

https://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Charcoal-Yakitori-Yardbird-Hong/dp/0714876453/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543460211&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=yakitori+cookbook&dpPl=1&dpID=41grjnTtiqL&ref=plSrch

My city library had the Laurel Randolph IP cookbook that's heavily promoted on Amazon, so I borrowed it. Was surprised at the poor editing -- typos and inconsistencies galore. A couple of the recipes even listed two ingredients together on one line with no separator and was very confusing to read. Not sure that's bestseller material.

I definitely agree with everybody here who says to check out Youtube. The tutorials can be awesome! However, if you're new to cooking/baking, it can still be hard to know the terms and equipment they are using. Nothing beats a book for familiarizing yourself with these sorts of things. I recommend what I consider to be the Bible as far as learning to cook goes, "The Betty Crocker Cookbook". Assuming, of course, that you are American and will be using American measuring and temperatures.

You mentioned you want to learn how to make bread! I make my own exclusively, and I highly recommend doing that. Your own bread will be far healthier and filling than anything you'll buy in a grocery store or bakery, and you can add stuff to make it even tastier (my go-to is rosemary and sage). I only just learned to do it about a year ago, and was very intimidated by it because it seemed really complicated, would take hours and hours to do, might need special equipment (a bread maker) and I'd spend a lot of time and elbow grease kneading it. I was lucky enough to find, after a lot of searching, this video I'm posting below. This lady explains it really well and her method is super simple, turns out great every time. You can make sandwich loaves or rolls or whatever shape you want to make with it.

As you make this recipe over and over again, you'll be less intimidated by the whole bread thing and probably get into more complicated stuff. Check out r/breadit when this happens!

Good luck!

Are you only interested in meat? The Cook's illustrated Meat book has super detailed recipes and lots of background information to make sure you're doing everything right.

I got this cookbook! The chicken dish I made last night was in it. It also has a great table of cook times for various things. I like it so far!

I am also new to Instant Pot pressure cooking but found this cookbook, which is written specifically for the Instant Pot, to be very helpful. My husband loves the recipe for one-pot pasta bolognese (you throw a box of uncooked pasta in there), and I have used the chicken bone broth recipe a couple of times successfully. Both times, my bone broths gelled really well, which is apparently not always easy to do. https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Electric-Pressure-Cooker-Cookbook/dp/1623156122/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

I just got Mary and Vincent Price's (the legendary horror actor) 1965 cookbook, A Treasury of Great Recipes, for Christmas and I have been loving it. Vincent Price was a lifelong lover of food and this book collects his favorite recipes from all the restaurants in the world that he travelled to. The book includes a lot of beautiful photography of the food and restaurants as well as some of the menus. I've only made a few of the recipes so far, but all have been great though a lot of the recipes can be kind of heavy. Lots of butter and cream.

I've been thinking of doing it this year myself. Hank Shaw of Hunter Angler Gardener Cook claims to have two recipes in his book here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1607745291/

Google came up with this as well: http://simplegoodandtasty.com/2013/12/10/hunting-for-dinner-making-coot-edible
