Hi all!

I had a host last night who has been hosting for years ask me about an old cookbook that her dog chewed up. It looked like it could have been a SB. She doesn't know the name, but there were two recipes that she remembers: A chicken curry one, and a caramel something. Lol, wish I had more info, but thought I'd see if this sounds familiar to anyone. Thanks, and have a great day!
 
Hi there! I'm not sure if I can be of much help, but I'll give it a shot. I did a quick search and found a few old cookbooks that have chicken curry and caramel recipes, but I'm not sure if any of them are the one your host is looking for. Have you tried asking in some cooking or recipe forums? They might have more expertise in identifying old cookbooks. Good luck!
 
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your host's dog chewed up her old cookbook. It's always a bummer when cherished recipes get destroyed. The chicken curry and caramel recipes do sound familiar to me as a Pampered Chef consultant. We have a lot of delicious chicken curry recipes and some yummy caramel dessert recipes as well. If you have any other details about the cookbook, I'd be happy to help you track it down. In the meantime, I can recommend some great recipes for your host to try out. Let me know if you need any assistance. Have a great day!
