Quick & Easy Salmon Curry

October 20, 2015 | 0 Comments

Growing up on the coast, we would eat a lot of fish.  Cod, halibut or plaice were often served for lunch at school, or dinner at home.  These light and flavorful fish are excellent choices for the British classic, Fish and Chips too.  Salmon, however, was always a treat.

How To Spatchcock A Chicken

August 21, 2015 | 1 Comments

Before last week, I’d never spatchcocked anything.  Not a turkey, nor a chicken, but I did know that this technique that is a nice way of saying “removing the backbone and laying the bird flat” is always a winning recipe.

A large turkey will serve a crowd and it’s perfect for a make-ahead, slow cooker dinner.  For years, we have exclusively chosen turkey for Thanksgiving, or perhaps a large Passover gathering, but now, we’re serving it more and more.

Have you ever eaten something, paused, and thought how your palette will never be the same again?  Wondered how throughout the years, no one had shared these flavors with you?  Realized in an instant, that this is a dish that you would serve over and over again?
