The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup, Mimi Sheraton's timeless study on what some consider the elixir of life, is all of these. This comprehensive treatise on what is arguably one of the world's ubiquitous dishes includes what kind of chicken and pot to use to be sure your soup will be golden rich and lean. Along with over 100 recipes for chicken-based soups and a full panoply of dumplings, meat balls, noodles, and piroshiki to go with them, this book is also studded with historical, geographic, and cultural tidbits. If you wonder how much can be done with a bird simmered in liquid, the chapters on soups from Latin America, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia are edifying. Sheraton's passion, warmth, generosity and meticulous attention to accuracy make this book a culinary classic.
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The only other book solely on chicken soup besides mine that I have ever seenMimi's book is a delightful collection of international recipes for making chicken soup. I discovered it after I had finished writing my book on the same subject CHICKEN SOUPS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. I couldn't believe that someone else was a crazy as me to spend so much time and effort researching and preparing this one dish. I loved her recipes and her personal descriptions. Obviously she comes from the same ethnic background as mine where Jewish chicken soup is synonomous with fighting a cold and winning plus savoring the comfort it brings. I really enjoyed comparing and contrasting our recipes. Mimi concentrated more on the rich traditions of European cooking where we both share a common ancestry. However, I believe I went farther afield to explore more regions of the world than she did. I have included more exotic recipes from places like Ethiopia, Armenia, Kenya, Tunisia, Peru, Indonesia, and Latvia. Also, I explored some of the indigenous regions of the U.S. like Wyoming, the Carolinas, Louisiana, Alaska, Hawaii, and New Mexico. In any case, I feel you can't know too many ways to make this incredibly healing and nutritious meal. Rating:  - Recipes are too fancyDon't waste your money.. The recipes are from the Old World and the ingredients are weird and hard to find.... Rating:  - Have a cold, wanna feel better?Have a cold, wanna feel better?
