Beard on Birds

Rating: 4.5 of 5

beardonbirdsThis cookbook is rich with classic poultry recipes. They are the recipes that I grew up with put forward in a simple, no-nonsense approach. This is not a coffee table type book as there are no pictures other than some simple hand-drawings. This is for the serious cook – those who are just beginning as well as those who have years of experience behind them. The original version of this book was released in 1944 and it has undergone many changes in the various updates since then. Reading the forewards to the book give the reader its history and funny anecdotes.
