Mediterranean Chicken Marbella Traybake

"The whole is greater than the sum of the parts."
Aristotle

 This delicious chicken dish is beloved by many of us here in Australia, but was actually created in the Silver Palate food store, which opened on New York's Manhattan Upper West Side 35 years ago. The store was started by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins, who cooked fresh each day, embracing a passion for simple good food.

Tropical Sweet and Sour Pork

 

Happy New Year to you all. If you are living in the Northern Hemisphere where it is freezing in parts I hope you are keeping warm, and if you are somewhere very tropical like we are, reaching temperatures of 36-40 deg. C daily, I hope you are keeping cool and well hydrated. At the moment, we are enjoying any outside work, gardening or walking very early in the morning or late in the evening. Thankfully in Australia it's the Summer of Tennis and Cricket, so during the day I can relax watching sport on the television, reading, practicing my piano, sewing, mending, or whatever else takes my fancy. That's how we Summer in North Queensland.
