Fifty Shades of Chicken: a parody in a cookbook

(Clarkson Potter, R236)

“This isn’t just about getting me hot till my juices run clear, and then a little rest. There’s pulling, jerking, stuffing, trussing… he promises we’ll start out slow, with wine and a good oiling…” So begins the initiation of a young, pliable free-range chicken at the hands of a mysterious, domineering cook. This snort-worthy spoof-in-a-cookbook makes dinner a riot with 50 recipes to enthral you, including: ‘Please Don’t Stop Chicken’, ‘Spicy Fowl’, and ‘Learning to Truss You’. (US measurements)

Highlight: The recipes are hot too.
