Rosemary is the herb of remembrance. Try these seasonal scones for a spot of soothing baking, safe in the knowledge they give more back than they ask of you.

Tuscan Roasted Chicken
Low effort, summery and delivers amazing flavour, this bird has everything going for it.

Spatchcock is just to say, remove the backbone fromContinue reading “Tuscan Roasted Chicken”
Whole BBQ’d Chicken with a Rosemary and Honey Glaze
This chicken occupies a special place in my heart, as it’s my closet approximation to a roast chicken I ate in Tuscany cooked by our Italian host family. Obviously the food was terrific, but when combined with the company, the atmosphere and the surroundings, it was sublime. I intend to recreate the entire meal oneContinue reading “Whole BBQ’d Chicken with a Rosemary and Honey Glaze”

Baked Camembert with Oven-Crisped Fries
A classic appetizer with cubes of bread, but add some crispy fries and you’ve got a fabulous and unexpected dinner party menu.
