No wonder it's a hard to find book ... Superb recepies .... 5 out of 5 stars.

I think I saw the author on one of the talking heads morning programs preparing some chicken wing recepie, which then made it difficult for me to find the book anywhere later in the day. Now that I have had a chance to, of course, get the book and try some of the recepies I can certainly attest to the reason it was hard to get. WOW ... even though we may all have fallen into the pit of deep frying wings and buying buffalo wing sauces at the local Piggely Wiggely .... this book will blow out all of your chicken wing pre-conceptions ....
There are suaerbraten wing recepies, hoisin sauce recepies, sour cream recepies and so on and so forth, all of them exquisite, and a taste sensation. The recepies are very varied in the basic prep of the wings and most do not take that many steps. There are a multitude of flavours to choose from ranging from the dark sweet brown sugar glazed wings to spicy Eastern wings made with chutney or hoisin sauce to tangy sour European style wings.
The 'Desert Fox Wing' recepie (page 79) for example, uses orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, lemon and orange zest, rosemary, thyme, oregano, cardamon, cumin,tumeric and of course salt in the preparation of the marinade .... WOW .... how many chickens did they have to kill just to get that list of ingredients .....
The book has a few B&W pictures on how to prep the wings but they have no pictures of dish presentation... I can understand that since all you really need is just a roll of paper towells and a beer ... Some of the recepies have a history or a restaurant tied to them and some, I guess, are just from the author.... The book is 203 pages long and I would estimate then that it must have well over 130 recipies
Like I said ... don't expect this book to be picked up on the cheap but do RUN and buy a copy ..... then call me and invite me over for wings and a beer ... LOL
Editorial Review:
Chef Vanderstigchel has turned his love of wings into an amusing collection of recipes, information, photos, and cartoons, including the story of the first Buffalo wings ever served. Nearly 200 recipes run the gamut, from sweet to hot. Photos & illustrations.
