Goose

If you've eaten goose before, you probably had it at Christmastime. And if you haven't, chef Harper McClure of Brabo in Alexandria, Virginia wants you to give it a shot this year. Why? “One, it’s classic—it’s the traditional Christmas bird,” he says. “And two, it’s really tasty. It has such a rich, deep, gamey, earthy flavor.” Cooking an entire goose can seem intimidating, but if you've tackled the task of roasting a whole turkey, then you have the skills. F&W's guide gives you all the recipes you need for Christmas and beyond, plus tips and techniques from expert chefs.

Inspired by the goose recipes in Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, F&W's Kay Chun perfected this delicious version, which calls for techniques—like basting the goose with boiling water—that Child most likely used as well.
