Summary

The acclaimed chef shares more than 100 recipes plus techniques and personal anecdotes drawn from her Southern roots and Parisian training. 
 
Chef and culinary arts instructor Jennifer Hill Booker grew up on her family’s Mississippi farm before attending the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France. The dishes featured in Field Peas to Foie Gras celebrate the differences between these two types of cuisine while skillfully playing on their similarities, including the use of every part of a pig to flavor soups, stews, salads, and greens; a shared preference for local, farm-raised ingredients; and the technique of braising meats such as venison or rabbit with wine. 
 
Booker offers instructions on everything from canning and preserving to rendering lard, cleaning greens, and preparing the perfect Thanksgiving turkey. Enjoy savory Southern favorites such as Tomato and Okra Gravy and Glazed Turnips with Pearl Onions and Brown Butter. Feast on a variety of pork recipes, including Fresh Pork Sausage, and poultry and game dishes such as Hickory-Smoked Chicken Croquettes and Venison Stew. Also included are dessert like the Apple, Peach, and Pecan Galette; and unique cocktail recipes like Pomegranate Brandy and Winter Pear Wine.

    An essential guide to cooking all things poultry from the master of American cuisine James Beard’s culinary relationship with fowl has a most fascinating history. On Christmas Eve, 1942, Beard, along with eleven other air force recruits, was chosen to carve four thousand pounds of turkey overnight—an experience that put him off turkey for years.   When he finally returned to the nation’s favorite bird, it was with remarkable vigor and creativity. Beard on Birds reflects this passion with expertly crafted dishes that will appeal to a modern twenty-first-century palate. The definitive classic equips home cooks with the skills and techniques they need to artfully prepare chicken, turkey, duck, goose, and more. With more than two hundred recipes ranging from squab to stuffing and from quiche to quail, Beard on Birds will banish boring and bland poultry dishes forever.   Whether you’re cooking an intimate dinner or a Thanksgiving feast, Beard’s good humor and simple-yet-elegant recipes are sure to stand the test of time.
