Chicken A La King & the Buffalo Wing is a pint sized guide to the crazy names of famous culinary dishes. Despite is small stature, this book is jam-packed with trivia about foods like Vichyssoise and Gorgonzola. Organized in the form of a menu (Appetizers, Dinners, Lunches, Breakfasts), you will find short blurbs describing the person and place name origins of various foods and drinks.

This book is the perfect size to pull out during a casual dinner or to take to trivia night at the pub. For more in depth research, there are a handful of recipes included, ranging from Frozen Daiquiris to Irish Lamb Stew.
