MasterChef judge and fowl expert John Torode delves into and demystifies the world of feathered food-stuffs; not only presenting every which way to treat the humble chicken, but also revealing the secrets to cooking the whole variety of edible birds - whether guinea-fowl or quail, pigeon, partridge or turkey - with confidence. The recipes are straightforward, down-to-earth, tasty and easy to make. From the Jewish family staple chicken soup to spicy guinea fowl jungle curry, chicken salad with Thai basil and coconut dressing to pheasant with cabbage rolls and beetroot sauce, and unctuous confit duck to the perfect thanksgiving roast turkey with all the trimmings, John Torode's Chicken includes classics and contemporary dishes from all around the world. John encourages home cooks to make use of all aspects of their bird, showing the best use for each part and turning the bones and remnants into great stocks and soups.
