Thomas Keller’s Fried Chicken

I’m slightly obsessed with fried chicken at the moment. There was fried chicken on my birthday last month. There was fried chicken after Christmas thanks to I-Hua and her awesome man. There was fried chicken at St Katherine’s the other week. And finally, on Sunday we had a Fried Chicken Party. Mazzle, Bro and I [...]

Pressure cooker butter chicken

The best kitchen item we’ve bought this year has been a pressure cooker. It’s fantastic! I can’t believe I resisted one for so long. We purchased an electric one because it also doubles as a slow cooker. It’s a massive beast of a machine, but I keep it out on my kitchen bench because I [...]

Soy sauce chicken wings

So it was my birthday in the weekend. I organised a low key BBQ to mark the occasion – and of course it was the wettest day this year. It rained ALL FREAKING DAY. Nevertheless, I sent Alastair out in the rain to tend the BBQ. Whenever we host a BBQ, I prefer not to [...]

Dinner at ours: Twice baked cheese soufflé, spinach stuffed chicken roulade and coconut panna cotta
