Longlisted for the André Simon Food and Drink Book Awards 2020 This is a celebration of one of the most widely interpreted, humble and beloved dishes the world over: chicken soup. With more than 100 recipes dedicated to this one special meal, James Beard-nominee Jenn Louis shows readers how chicken soup is not only a source of heart-warming sustenance but a cure-all and the ultimate expression of love.   With chapters broken down by region and country, The Chicken Soup Manifesto includes everything from Algerian Chorba Bayda, Colombian and Panamanian Sancocho and Thai Kao Tom Gai to Spanish Sopa de Picadillo. Along with the recipes, Jenn Louis also covers essential chicken know-how, from selecting and storing, to stock 101 and brining. The book is fully photographed with a design that establishes it as a collectible object as much as a hard-working guide to the world's favourite soup. Review Offering a generic, but mildly enigmatic, "recipes from around the world", the CSM is 100+ takes on what people in various countries produce when asked to cook a chicken. ― Strong Words About the Author Jenn Louis has enjoyed a culinary career spanning more than two decades.
