Chicken and Charcoal
March 30, 2019 by Jenny
Known for their hard hitting international cuisine and
restaurant titles, Phaidon publishes books that are inspiring and
beautiful yet sometimes more complicated than the everyday cook can
handle. While Chicken
and Charcoal may seem complex due to its brilliant design
and modern photography, it is deceivingly approachable.
Yakitori is one of the simplest, healthiest ways to cook chicken.
At Yardbird in Hong Kong, Canadian chef Matt Abergel has taken
yakitori to global fame. In this first comprehensive book devoted
to yakitori, Abergel reveals the magic behind the restaurant’s
signature recipes, together with detailed explanations of how they
source, butcher, skewer, and cook the birds with no need for
special equipment.
Our
- Grilling: meatball
- Grilling: green miso breast
- Grilling: ume shiso thigh
- Grilling: oyster

Do not be afraid to light up the grill and tackle these recipes. In addition to various recipes for all parts of the humble bird, this title shares vegetable, rice and other dishes perfect to serve alone or beside some yakitori.
