The other night I went to the Yeovil Literary festival to hear Jason Goodwin talk about the colourful life of his mother, Jocasta Innes. He was engaging to the extent that I ended up buying his book over his mother’s. Perhaps I couldn’t being myself to buy the book of someone who left her …

Asian chicken hot pot easy Sunday chicken Melt in your mouth chicken recipe Thai chicken
My aim was to have roast chicken, then with brown rice leftover, I thought an Asian influence may be a good idea. It is very tasty and an alternative for a Sunday lunch as there is very little effort involved and just as much enjoyment, or more perhaps as there is little washing up (my …

chicken tomato curry leftover tomatoes tomato curry
If I told my son I was giving him tomato curry, he wouldn’t eat it, chicken he would. If I told my daughter I was giving her chicken curry she may be reluctant as she considers vegetarianism now and then, but she eats so many tomatoes I almost expect her to turn into one! So, …

Greek chicken Mediterranean Chicken bake One pot summer chicken bake
Feta cheese, sundried tomatoes, lemons, basil and garlic as well as of course olives, are all associated with Greece, but then maybe it is the feta that has made me call this Greek as opposed to Italian, Spanish or another of our European neighbours.

chicken glace; chicken marmite; chicken reduction; chicken stock

It can be used like a stock cube but tastes a zillion times better, less salty, more natural with proper chicken flavour.

Having been to Matt’s Kitchen with friends, we were all raving about his ‘spiced chicken’. One friend even asked me how to cook it (lovely to have a friend with such faith, even if misplaced). Wanting to repeat this without a forty five minute drive to Bruton, I think I came pretty close. It …

bacon chicken mace
The photograph does not do this justice so please trust me in saying that it is very good, and this is the dish I will cook again and again. I think perhaps the addition of mace is what made it so good.
In the words of Granny Dot:

chicken pancetta pilaf pilau rice saffron
What makes this dish special is the saffron. Bacon is always a bonus and because I had very thinly sliced pancetta in the fridge, the combination of it with the rice was light and perfect. So if you can get some very fine pancetta or something similar, it is worth the texture difference. Streaky bacon …

This week we have eaten really well from the recipes I have chosen from Granny Dot’s ‘My Own Cookery Book’ (1920 ish). This is very simple and you may well have the ingredients in your larder/cupboard.
