Talk Turkey to Me: A Good Time in the Kitchen Talking Turkey and All the Trimmings Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)An insider from Butterball's Turkey Hotline delivers a cookbook that will have you laughing at the dumb questions they get, and learning from the witty and practical answers that she gives. You get great recipes for all the trimmings, complete with lots of make-ahead timesavers. Try the To-Die-For Cheese Biscuits, freeze-head dough for rolls, or the no-roll pumpkin pie crust.
Hate directions that say "refrigerate until thawed"? Easy-to-use charts tell you exactly how long to thaw it, or even how to cook it frozen. Stuffed or unstuffed, grilled, rotisseried or deep-fried, it takes seconds to see timing per pound. Is brining good? (Not necessarily) Is basting better? (No, it just takes longer!) Stop stressing out when you cook, have a laugh, and buy this book! (And by the way,it makes a great hostess gift, too.)

Williams-Sonoma The Best of the Kitchen Library: Meats & Poultry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a pretty good book. There are a variety of recipes for beef (including steaks, roasts, ground), pork, poultry (primarily chicken, but some quail, duck, etc), lamb, and veal. The Williams-Sonoma publishers are masters at selling pictures to the audience and getting you to buy the book based on the picture (hey, they sold me! :) ). Each recipe is accompanied with a beautiful picture of the dish. Sometimes the pictures have side dishes in them that look equally appealing, but there is no recipe in the book for the side dishes (so the title is strict: this is only meats and poultry). There also is a small section in the front for creating sauces that are used in the dishes. I have made a few of the beef recipes and the chicken sausage fettucine with white wine (amazing and VERY quick to make), and have been happy so far.
My only major qualm with this book is that many of the recipes are geared for grilling. I know WS has other books on grilling, and this book seems to encompass many of the recipes. I do love grilled foods, but living in a small apartment, I don't have the luxury of firing up the grill like others may have. Most of the recipes that require grilling also have instructions for broiling or searing/grilling indoors, so you can likely still make the recipe--it probably just won't taste as good. Overall a good book for the money. However, it seems like a good portion of these recipes are in other WS cookbooks, so if you already have some WS meat, poultry, and grilling books (I do not), this may not be for you.
