Review – Chicken The New Classics By Marcus Bean

October 8, 2014 by GG 34 Comments

Marcus Bean's Chicken The New Classics

Marcus Bean’s Chicken The New Classics

Is your favourite cookbook the one your Mother used?  Or the one you learnt to cook from?  Perhaps it’s a spotted and spattered tome that could never be replaced?  I have a shelf of recipe book treasures, well thumbed and well used, but just occasionally there’s a book that can sit beside them.

With a wife who doesn’t eat red meat, Marcus Bean has created and eaten a lot of chicken dishes.  ‘Chicken The New Classics’ is a book based on experience and creativity.  The straightforward method of the recipes makes them extremely achievable.  You can rediscover and explore chicken with this single ingredient book that pushes the boundaries and the taste buds.

Split into three sections there’s Chicken Waterzooi, a rich thick Belgian soup from Weekday Meals. Deep flavoured Chilli Chocolate Chicken from Weekend Main Meals a new take on Chilli Con Carne.  Finally from Dinners And Celebrations a beautiful layered terrine of poached chicken, goat’s cheese and sweet slow roasted tomatoes.  This is a book for beginners and enthusiasts, with enough recipes to cover just about any occasion.  It might even find a place on my ‘treasures’ shelf too.

    This looks a brilliant book. I love chicken to bits and feel rather chuffed with myself when I find something new to do with it. This looks full of great ideas.

    I love the look of these two dishes. I’ve been meeting a lot of chefs lately whose partners all have intolerances or allergies to certain foods and so the chefs have become very adept at adapting recipes around these issues xx

      It’s great when a chef gets hold of one ingredient. There’s so much they come up with. An inventive, inspirational book. GG

    Sounds great… you can’t have too many good chicken recipes… tell me, does the author write about free range chicken?

    G’day So many cookbooks, so little time GG!
    My mum perceived cooking as a chore, and I could not be any more polar opposite! Love chicken recipes!
    Cheers! Joanne

    This must be an interesting book. I love the combination of flavours in the chicken calzone. I hope you share more pages and thank you for reviewing this book. P.S. What a generous husband 😀

    I do confess to having the spotted, splattered fave cookbook that’s true, but my food porn collection is a bit out of control. Good to see great vego & dietary additions to this one, it sounds a good-un 🙂

      My collection is totally out of control, but that’s what’s so fun about finding a book you know is a ‘keeper’. GG

    I don’t own one strictly chicken cookbook. I think I should correct this post haste. Looks like a good book.

    I love books that focus on one ingredient. It’s such an inspiring way to think that takes me way out of my comfort zone into places I love. 🙂

    That terrine looks fabulous – I don’t like goats cheese but I’m sure I could substitute another cheese. Great book, haven’t seen it in the shops but will certainly look out for it now.

      l’m sure you could sub a cows milk soft cheese for the goat’s cheese. One with herbs or garlic would be good too. GG
