This is a beautifully rustic dish uses ingredients that would likely be available on any Provencal family farm. I have adapted the recipe slightly to add some fresh thyme and lemon, which I personally love with any roast chicken dish. Additionally, the original recipe called for brushing the chicken with bacon drippings before cooking , but I have replaced that with a good quality unsalted butter.

Meat and nuts merge together happily in this North African stew.

A homemade curry paste, fresh tomato, coconut cream and a zing of fresh lemon make this a a fabulous weeknight meal.

This vibrant mélange of sweet, crunchy, tangy and herby love from the garden is perfect for a hot summer day lunch or as a supporting side to your cold roasted chicken or grilled garlic/Dijon flank steak.

This quick and easy and warm hug of a dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner and then leftovers for lunch the next day. Serve with basmati rice, garlic naan, and a scattering of cilantro.

This aromatic veggie and lentil soup has a slightly peppery taste and invites a good crusty roll spread with goat cheese or sweet butter as a companion to the meal.
