This month's theme is Fifty Shades of Chicken, which features the parody book of the same name.
The info sheet that comes with the box details all the items included. And on the back includes recipes featuring those items:
Fifty Shades of Chicken - Value $16
While I haven't read many parody cookbooks, I think it is still safe to say this must be one of the most well-done books in that genre! The recipes actually look good, the titles of the recipes are hilarious, and there's even a narrative throughout the book - so it is part cookbook, part book.
(I'm thinking of giving this book as part of an upcoming Bachelorette party gift!)
Norpro Stainless Steel Vertical Roaster - Value $13
This roaster is supposed to evenly roast the meat, and it gets great reviews on Amazon. I have to admit, I've never roasted a chicken before (I opt for picking up a rotisserie at Whole Foods), so I'm not sure if I would use this to justify keeping it - I may swap it.
Chicken Bondage Rope - Value $3?
Jacobsen Salt Co. Lemon Zest Salt - Value $5
This salt smells so fresh and citrusy - I can't wait to use it!
Spiceologist All Natural Spice Blend Pink Peppercorn Lemon Thyme - Value $15
Lusty Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Value $7
I love lemon with chicken, so I lucked out on this box. This all natural spice blend sounds amazing, and I love how short the ingredient list is.
And I love getting new flavored olive oils to try from subscription boxes, and this "Lusty Lemon" flavor sounds perfect!
Verdict: I think this is such a well-done, fun, and also useful box. (Very hard to accomplish!) The value is good too - about $59. And I think it was smart for them to do this box in February, with Valentine's Day and the release of Fifty Shades of Grey around the corner. (I'm curious to see how the movie does at the box office - from what I've read, the press tour is not going so well!)
