I love chicken, duck and quail and always have some in my freezer for quick meals! They’re versatile, a great foil for other flavours, and suitable for any cuisine. Juicy flesh and crisp skin make them irresistible in these simple poultry recipes.
Southern Fried Chicken Wings Like this recipe? You’ll love my online cooking class featuring the food of America’s Deep South! The Colonel may have had 11 secret herbs and spices, but these Southern fried chicken wings taste just as good with only four! The secret to flavour is salt – and soaking these wings (or […]
Poussin with Preserved Lemon Salata Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Middle Eastern cooking class inspired by Michael Rantissi! Poussins, French for chicks, are young chickens, sometimes called spatchcocks. They’re a good size to serve whole or halved, but you can also make this dish with a regular-size chicken and just increase the cooking […]
Roast Chicken with Preserved Lemon Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Australian cooking class inspired by Matt Moran! This super simple, super delicious roast chook is my kind of comfort food. I love the combination of chicken, rice and yoghurt, but you could serve crispy smashed potatoes with it if you prefer. I also […]
Coq au Vin Like this recipe? You’ll love my online French cooking class Inspired by Damien Pignolet! Coq au vin was one of the first French dishes I ever cooked, and it seemed terribly sophisticated in the early ‘80s. Literally ‘rooster in wine’, it’s a classic braise of chicken, onion, mushrooms and lardon (cured pork […]
Chicken & Sweet Corn Soup Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Chinese cooking class! This is my version of the classic Cantonese chicken and sweet corn soup found on every suburban Chinese restaurant menu. I add egg noodles to create a simple one pot dish, but you could leave them out to make a […]
Black Pepper Butter Chicken Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Indian cooking class inspired by Ajoy Joshi! This quick, tasty recipe is my version of a Punjabi dish, kali mirch murgh makhani (literally black pepper chicken with butter). It’s nothing like the fluoro-orange butter chicken of Indian restaurants (which I also love!), nor is […]
Chicken Kiev Like Chicken Kiev? You’ll love my online cooking class featuring the food of America’s Deep South! I love retro chicken Kiev! Deep-fried chicken breast wrapped around garlicky herb butter – it looks so impressive, but is really quite easy if you follow the recipe step-by-step. I use chives, parsley and tarragon because that’s […]
Chicken & Mushroom Crepes Like this recipe? You’ll love my online French cooking class Inspired by Damien Pignolet! Serve these delicious chicken and mushroom crepes as a main course with a herb salad (I like butter lettuce and chervil) or individually as a starter. The filling can be made the day before, as can the […]
Warm Duck & Orange Salad Like this recipe? You’ll love my online French cooking class Inspired by Damien Pignolet! I created this recipe one day when I wanted to make duck à l’orange, but it was so hot that it morphed into a warm salad instead. Duck breasts are surprisingly easy to cook, or pick […]
Satay Chicken Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Malaysian cooking class! Some of my favourite memories from trips to Malaysia and Indonesia are of eating satay chicken skewers from street stalls. I’ve tried all sorts of complicated recipes at home to recreate the flavour without success. Then I came across Ayam satay sauce – […]
