Following on from the critical and commercial success of John Torode's Beef, the co-presenter & judge of Masterchef is back with with John Torode's Chicken & Other Birds- celebrating all things fowl in his typical non-elitist approach.

Low in fat, full of flavour and a superb source of protein, chicken is the most commonly eaten meat on the planet. However, despite their popularity, many people seem to suffer from a real lack of confidence when it comes to preparing and cooking chicken. The ubiquitous pre-prepared chicken breasts or drumsticks are a feature of every supermarket, but the knowledge that using the whole bird will produce more flavoursome dishes of greater variety that will also save money, seems to have been largely lost in recent years.

In this book, restaurateur 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. With his passion for the subject, the recipes are straight from the heart: down-to-earth, tasty and easy to make.
