A Bird in the Hand: Chicken Recipes for Every Day & Every Mood (Diana Henry)

Chicken is one of the most popular foods we love to cook and eat: comforting, quick, celebratory and casual. Plundering the globe, there is no shortage of brilliant ways to cook it, whether you need a quick supper on the table after work, something for a lazy summer barbecue or a feast to nourish family and friends.

From quick Vietnamese lemon grass and chilli chicken thighs and a smoky chicken salad with roast peppers and almonds, through to a complete feast with pomegranate, barley and feta stuffed roast chicken with Georgian aubergines, there is no eating or entertaining occasion that isn't covered in this book.

In A Bird in the Hand, Diana Henry o­ffers a host of new, easy and not-so-very-well-known dishes, starring the bird we all love.

This book has beautiful photography throughout and the recipes are organised as follows:

• suppers: dishes for every night of the week
• the spice route: scented, perfumed, hot
• the main attraction: Sunday lunches and posh dinners
• chooks, shoots and leaves: chicken salads
• feast: let's celebrate
• summer & smoke: griddled and barbecued
• pure comfort: dishes to warm and soothe
• remains of the day: what to do with the rest of that bird...
