These past few weeks have been so perfectly beautiful – clear as a bell and full to the brim with flowers and the unfolding of fresh green leaves, ready to meet the sunshine. The mornings have been dew-strung and misty, illuminating the careful lacy weavings of the spiders in the golden light, and at night…

Coconut Chicken Curry
It’s been a very cool, wet spring but now the days are longer and hot, and at noon the sun feels too bright and strong. I’ve been waking early again, going out in the cool, misty mornings, enjoying the gentle and almost alpine air to work in, and spending the bright, hot part of the…

FRICASSEÉ DE POULET: Chicken Fricassee
This chicken recipe wasn’t too involved…if you don’t mind quartering a chicken, and taking several steps during the cooking. So yeah, it wasn’t the easiest recipe by any means….but it was really, really good. The flavors were just excellent, and you have a chicken frame to put into broth afterwards, so it’s a budget-stretcher as…
