Chef Clement Chan (Le Tigre and Torafuku), Chef Alex Hon (Top Table Restaurant Group), Chef Connor Sperling (Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar), Chef Trevor Bird (Fable Kitchen), and Chef David Hawksworth (Hawksworth Restaurant) are each featured in a series of videos on Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry’s contest webpage at www.fvsp.ca/buybc/cookpoultrylikeapro.

These videos are to help foodies and home cooks learn how to master cooking at poultry at home while learning new and delicious recipes.  You’ll also learn why it’s great to buy meat locally including:

Freshness & Quality

When you buy BC poultry like the pros do, you’re getting the benefits of freshness and quality.  Knowing where your meat comes from means you understand how it was raised and the farm’s practices.  That way, you can ensure that you are buying and enjoy foods that are fresh, natural and raised without the use of antibiotics.  Furthermore, the shorter the time between the farm and your table, the less likely it is that nutrients will be lost from the product.

You Help Keep Local Farmers in Business

As there are fewer and fewer family-run farms, supporting local farmers helps keep them in business.  Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry was built on five generations of farming experience which has translated into the quality products that they produce.

You’re Investing in the Future

Buying your meats from your local farmer keeps your money in your community.  You’re helping to ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow.

Chef Trevor Bird creates Whole Roast Duck

Chef Trevor Bird, owner of Fable Kitchen, Fable Diner and MeatMe.ca as well as a two-time finalist on Top Chef Canada and Top Chef Canada All Stars, is featured in the video series.  I had the opportunity to go attend Chef Trevor Bird’s video shoot of his Whole Roast Duck recipe.  Here are some photos from behind-the-scenes:

His recipe features a long slow roast and heavy basting of the duck which makes for a nice sticky glaze that you will love!  The recipe is very easy to follow and the result is melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

The duck leg pulled away from the body so easily and the meat was wonderfully tender.  But really, the whole bird falls apart seamlessly so you might just be eating right out of the pan!
