Chicken and Other Birds by Paul Gayler

Chicken and Other Birds by Paul Gayler

This book brings together over 100 main course dishes that employ the whole range of cooking techniques, and that use the ubiquitous chicken as well as all the less well known birds such as turkey, goose, duck, guinea fowl, poussin, pigeon and quail.

"Paul Gayler.. reveals an almost forensic zeal in ensuring fellow foodies get the best out of their birds. ... while it informs it also delights. The how-to photos are clear and well-labelled, but it's the beautifully plated finished dishes that will make you want to put more birds on your menus."

“This book is a godsend for anyone who has become stuck in a rut where poultry is concerned. €¦ he offers some amazing recipes”

"You wouldn't think that so many different recipes could be in one place."
