We roasted a chicken on Sunday and had it with salad and crusty bread. It was beautiful but it got me thinking about coming up with a recipe that was the tastiest, moistest chicken and one that had the crispiest skin. Somehow there’s nothing worse than having chicken with soggy skin and I think [...]

It’s that time of year when I am craving freshness and light. I never want to see another loaf of bread or bowl of mashed potatoes again (until next autumn when I shall greet them with abandon like a long lost friend) but right now I want fresh and light. Fresh and light. Veggies, [...]

I know that it will soon be Spring and warming up slightly but last weekend it was still freezing and this is the perfect excuse for a slow cooked Sunday lunch. The meat in this dish falls from the bone and lands in the sweetest, syrup of a sauce that has all the body of [...]

Chicken stock is a staple in my kitchen/fridge/freezer and as I use it an awful lot in my cooking it never lasts very long. This is a very easy, non-scientific way of making a great tasting stock and therefore not letting any of the bird go to waste. We had roast chicken for lunch last [...]

I have to tell you that I’m awfully glad it’s the weekend. I miss Robert when he’s far away and he misses us. Going out in the dark of the morning and not coming back until the dark of the evening. But it could be worse, he may not have a job at all so [...]

It’s the weekend! You gotta love Fridays. I do love Fridays, I love them a lot, but I also love Thursday nights. When I was a young thing and living the life in London, Thursday would be the night that we all hauled ourselves down to The Met Bar. Apparently it’s London’s byword for cool [...]

It’s the 24th of September, it’s Friday and in one weeks time we go into October. That means that it’s time for a pie. Oh yes, a cosy, warm, filling Autumnal pie that will make your whole house smell of the long days of childhood spent cooking in the kitchen with your Nana. Don’t be [...]
