I will have to try it; I'm always on the lookout for good things to do with chicken that don't use tomato (or anything containing tomato.)<br /><br />I have to admit that I am not much of a cookbook reader. I have some that I like, but mostly I use the same old recipes all the time - and some of them aren't really recipes, just guidelines that I use to Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-68594339345393429602015-02-08T17:46:29.898-06:002015-02-08T17:46:29.898-06:00I remember when I first moved out.

I haven't started weeding out my cookbooks yet, but I find that I tend to like the ones best that have an actual author with a personality that comes through in the cookbooks, so that's what's missing for me in the ones that come from Taste of Home or Good Housekeeping or a company/organization rather than a cookLaurie Chttp://baystatera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-39939571736224266522015-02-07T12:01:19.099-06:002015-02-07T12:01:19.099-06:00The chicken recipe sounds delicious, at this stage...The chicken recipe sounds delicious, at this stage of my cooking period, I find most recipes are available online and since my bookshelves are already bursting I tend to mark and file recipes in a folder.

Though I think up ALL sorts of reasons to get sentimental. I'd say if the recipes are available online, print out the ones that you're interested in (I have a binder on my counter where I keep Internet recipes in page protectors) and donate the book.
