A Bird In The Hand … Diana Henry

In A BIRD IN THE HAND, Diana Henry, one of Britain's best-loved food writers

offers a host of new, easy and not-so-very-well-known dishes, 

starring the bird we all love.

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, 

there is no eating or entertaining occasion that isn't covered in this book.

the perfume of tea and tobacco from the Ouled Nail tribe…

Top notes of apple, blackcurrant bud, clove, ginger, lemon and spearmint, 

with heart notes of jasmine, ending with base notes of vanilla.
