Sixty years after Irma Rombauer advised new cooks to "Stand facing the stove," America's love affair with "Joy of Cooking" continues unabated. And why not? "Joy" in hand, tens of millions of people -- from novices to professionals -- have learned to do everything from make a meat loaf to clean a squid to frost a wedding cake. For decades, "Joy of Cooking" has taught America how to cook, serving as the standard against which all other cookbooks are judged.

"All About Chicken" upholds that standard. In the conversational and instructional manner of the flagship book, "All About Chicken" is organized by technique. Chapters that cover roasting, broiling, baking, sauteing and stir-frying, braising, frying, and grilling chicken incorporate more than 100 of "Joy's" best-loved recipes -- Casserole Roasted Chicken with Forty Cloves of Garlic to Broiled Lemon Garlic Chicken to Chicken Breasts Baked on Mushroom Caps. You'll also find recipes for a dozen or more stuffings, sauces, marinades, and gravies, as well as techniques for carving, preparing, buying, and storing chicken. Add to that more than 150original photographs, specially commissioned for this volume, presented in the most easy-to-use design imaginable.

Whether you belong to one of the millions of American households that already own a copy (or two) of "Joy," or you have never cracked the spine of a cookbook before, "Joy of Cooking: All About Chicken" is for you. It is a spectacular achievement, worthy of its name. "Joy" has never been more beautiful.
