Chicken with chestnut stuffing
Chicken With Chestnut Stuffing And About Special Roasts
Many people love roast chicken. It is a recipe that makes you think of Sunday lunches and first dinners prepared for friends. Stuffed chicken, roast in the oven, is equally appreciated but, perhaps, it doesn't appear so often on our table. I also place it among the special roasts, perhaps as a family habit. Sunday lunch.…

Lemon-Marinated Roast-Beef, the Roast I didn’t Like
The roast-beef is the most famous Sunday Roast of English cuisine. And if recently on the blog I talked about comfort food (in the post where you can find the recipe for the Rice casserole with potato and porcini), the roast-beef gives me the opportunity to talk about the rejected food and how, sometimes, we should,…

Waiting for September to take stock of the things done, those still to be done and let some new project make its way through the pages of the agenda, I promised myself not to exaggerate.
