Join Chef Walter as he tours artist/illustrator John James Audubon’s farm and bird sanctuary near Valley Forge. Originally from France, Audubon toured his vast new country, capturing and drawing in vivid detail the amazing array of bird life he encountered along the Mississippi. Chef Walter prepares a very unusual poultry recipe, Stuffed Cock’s Comb. He also makes Chicken Curry, “the Indian Way,” from Hannah Glasse’s 1745 cookbook, along with Almond Rice Pilaf.
