A pan-roasted spatchcocked chicken is one of my favourite easy meals, it's rewarding to see it glorified in the NY Times. However, I'm a bit disappointed they'd use it to sell us on a 16,000 recipe database.
Is it really helpful to have 44 years worth of different dinners on your iPad? Isn't a simple and malleable classic like the chicken dish proof that all you need to get by are a handful of recipes and the skill to play with them?
