A Proper Chicken Couscous
Couscous, in the summer, is a perfect match for tomatoes, feta, lemon juice and coriander. But in the winter I want what I think of as ‘French’ couscous: some lamb or chicken, cooked slowly in a spicy broth full of … Continue reading
Thai green curry recipe: all the way from Chiang Mai
I am very very fond of Thai green curry. I don’t care that it’s a bit old hat, or that there are more interesting, and probably authentic Thai dishes to cook and eat. It perfectly combines just enough spiciness with … Continue reading
Midweek roast chicken recipe: not an oxymoron
There are two things that might put you off roasting chicken midweek…no, make that three: the time, the mess and the expense. However, if you own a good casserole dish (a Dutch oven to you ‘Mericans) you can a) make … Continue reading

Bill Granger’s Honey Lemon Chicken recipe
It may no longer be 27° in London, the wind and grey skies more reminiscent of autumn than spring, but I still want summer recipes, even if salad seems a bit, well, cold. And when I want something sunny, not … Continue reading
Chicken Legs with Feta and Roasted Vegetables
I found this idea whilst browsing food magazines in a supermarket queue and it has become an eternal favourite, mainly because it is cooking by numbers and so easy. If you have all the ingredients, great but, if not, you … Continue reading
Chicken Caesar salad recipe
On day two of the fridge-emptying exercise I decided to use up the roasted chicken. Whereas a packet of feta will last a lifetime, or near as dammit, a rotisserie bird, even from a reliable supermarket like Waitrose, isn’t quite … Continue reading
