There is complete information on Salmonella and how to avoid it. This Salmonella advice extends to a section on the safe-handling and use of eggs, which is often overlooked, as well as another section on valid reasons to clean and brine all poultry. This includes detailed instructions on preparing all types of birds for cooking. Listed are descriptions of all domesticated fowl and the most universal of game birds; along with several recipes for each. Also included are some time and temperature charts for general knowledge and detailed instructions for carving methods as well as serving instructions for each bird. Nothing is left to chance.
