"It's a great book for any first-time hen-keeper." - YOU magazine
Keeping and raising chickens is fun, relaxing, and low maintenance,
plus you have the added benefit of your own known source of fresh
eggs. In Raising Chickens, poultry breeder Suzie Baldwin offers a
practical guide to everything the beginner needs to know, from
whether to buy chicks or hens, what varieties to chose, how to tell
if you're buying a healthy chicken and how to ensure it stays that
way, to how many chickens you should keep, and what kind of coop to
buy. They also answer all the questions commonly posed by
first-time owners, from whether chickens ever fly away and how
quickly they will start laying, to how to prevent them being
attacked by foxes and what to do when they become unwell.

ethically reared chicken. What he doesn't know about chicken isn't
worth knowing, from brining and seasoning to poaching, grilling and
frying. The Whole Chicken is not only an homage to the world's most
eaten meat, but also a demonstration of its versatility, from the

What is a roast? Much more than a hunk of meat cooked in a certain way.
A roast may conjure up images of vast joints of beef turning on spits
in front of huge fires, of venison poached from under the gamekeeper s
nose, of medieval boards groaning under the weight of peacocks, swans
and sucking pigs, of Christmas geese and turkeys, and of convivial
Sunday lunch. In short, a roast is an idea of plenty, of feasting, and
of occasion.
Acclaimed cook and food historian Laura Mason presents delicious beef,
lamb, pork and chicken roasts, plus traditional recipes for turkey,
goose, duck, game birds, rabbit and hare, and venison too. All the best
accompaniments and vegetable dishes are included, from essential
Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes to sauces and stuffings.
Everything you need to know about sourcing, preparing and roasting
quality meat is explained and most importantly, the best part of any
roast is often the leftovers, and there are mouth-watering ideas for
soups, sandwiches, salads and pics.
"This book is just about food. Nothing flashy, no expensive
equipment and gizmos. It's entirely about flavours and
understanding. Food in its entirety is more than about filling your
stomach; it's about stories, history, and those shared moments." -
Hasan Semay Grounded and honest (and a little bit sweary), Hasan
Semay (a.ka. Big Has) is a bright and talented North-London based
chef and YouTube presenter. Having dropped out of school and tried
his hand at odd jobs from plumbing to security, Has was accepted
onto the prestigious Jamie Oliver "15" programme in 2011 which
unearthed a true passion and flair for cooking. HOME is his debut
cookbook and a celebration of the dishes, the places and the people
that have made him who he is today. Fans of Hasan's Instagram page
and enormously popular YouTube series 'Sunday Sessions' will
recognise his ability to make incredible restaurant-quality food
available to the masses, teaching his viewers how to appreciate
ingredients and understand cooking not through dull step-by-step
methods but by connecting more intuitively with the process. In
this debut cookbook, Has takes those principles to the next level
talking you through the stages of lighting a BBQ and how to prepare
a variety of dishes from small plates to Turkish Cypriot classics
as well as meat and fish straight off the grill. His food is
beautiful and robust with familiar Mediterranean influences from
his Cypriot heritage as well as from his time working in
professional kitchens across London - think grilled butter-milk
chicken thighs with chermoula, flame-licked steak and salsa verde,
marinated lamb chops with salsa rossa, all countered by neat folds
of glistening home-made pasta and the occasional jaw-dropping
dessert. Now don't think this means flashy, fiddly food - this is
real food, treated with respect and cooked right - no tablecloths
or fancy china, just your friends, round the BBQ proper Sunday
session style, because food is a celebration of coming together.
Peppered with anecdotes about working in professional kitchens and
the characters and inspiration behind his food, HOME is a
refreshing and accessible cookbook from a uniquely bold chef.
