First posted Oct 2015 When you're too tired to cook or shop and need to rely on a larder staple for a quick meal, this is one of my favourite fall backs. It's great loaded into baked potatoes, with buttered crackers, on healthy celery, or to jazz up cold roast chicken or a pack of... Continue Reading →
Chicken Cacciatore, or "Hunter's Chicken", is the sort of hearty stew guaranteed to warm the cockles of a self-builder's heart on a cold wintery day.

Boy, was I looking forward to my tea tonight. Fresh homegrown tomatoes from our vine, still juicy in November and picked last night.
