The Little Book of Lunch by Caroline Craig and Sophie Missing
I really like the concept of this book. The authors are trying to encourage people to enjoy their lunch at work more - not by going out, but by making fun and special meals that are easy to assemble at work or hold up well until lunchtime. They break the recipes down into a few categories like cooking the night before, using leftovers better, wholesome and healthy, etc. At the beginning they also talk about the best ways to package lunches and various containers that can be used as a lunchbox. Overall, a cute book that sings the praises of lunchtime at work.
Fried Chicken by Rebecca Lang
Who would have thought you could have an entire cookbook devoted to fried chicken?! Rebecca Lang starts off with some really helpful information about frying chicken - from selecting a chicken and cutting it up into pieces (with a helpful picture) to options for fats to use when frying, and the various types of frying (skillet, deep, and combination). Then the recipes are broken down by the frying type. Of course EVERY recipe sounded great and there are tons of mouth-watering pictures of fried chicken throughout! Really good Southern-style fried chicken is one of my cooking goals, so hopefully this book will help me get on the right path.
