Zuni Roast Chicken with Bread Salad

If I had to name a cookbook that had a huge impact on the way I cook and the way I think about seasoning food - it would be The Zuni Cafe Cookbook by Judy Rodgers. My friend Jenn gave it to me for Christmas one year and I vividly remember that once I cracked it open, I actually sat down and read it. Page by page. It was not only a pleasure to read, but an amazing treasure trove of information.


Zuni is famous for this particular recipe. When you're in the restaurant, it's one of those dishes that make people change their orders if it gets delivered to a neighboring table while folks are perusing the menu. The recipe is pretty long, so forgive me for not posting it. Just trust me and buy the book. So good!
