The book covers recipes for game birds (chicken, capon, poussin, duck, goose, guinea hen, ostrich,quail, etc.) game meats and foie gras, sausages and charcuterie. What is special is the detailed instructions that make it very easy for even an inexperienced cook to produce a delicious and different meal. Sidebars add interesting information on techniques, definitions and facts about game. The pictures are beautiful and the text well written. I enjoy reading the book as well as cooking the recipes.
