A delicious and simple recipe for the classic Chicken Provençal, a one-pan dinner made with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, green olives, capers and lemons in a luscious white wine sauce flavoured with herbs de Provence. Chicken Provençal is ready in an hour, making it a great dinner option any night of the week. Serve with a green salad, lots of crusty bread for sopping up that delicious garlicky pan sauce, and a glass of wine, if you'd like.
Herbs de Provence is an aromatic, all-purpose mixture of dried herbs and spices in the Provence region of France, which traditionally includes rosemary, thyme, marjoram, oregano, basil, tarragon and bay leaf. However, there is no standard recipe for this Provençal herb blend. The mixture varies depending on the preferences of the manufacturers or chefs. Herbs de Provence sold outside of France usually include lavender while traditional French blends and those sold in France typically do not. The reason for this is probably that many people associate Provence with lavender fields and the addition of this herb was and is considered to boost sales.

Printen are an integral part of the Christmas season in Germany. As you stroll through the Christmas market, the typical scent of aniseed, cardamom and cinnamon wafts through the air. Whether plain, covered in icing or chocolate, baked with nuts or garnished with almonds – the variety of creations is sure to satisfy every tastebud.
Nußprinten are a variation on traditional Aachen Printen (a traditional gingerbread speciality that have been baked in Aachen / Germany since around 1820) in which the gingerbread is topped with hazelnuts and coated with chocolate. It is a delicious combination of aromatic gingerbread, crunchy nuts and delicate chocolate. These well spiced cookies are usually sold in the form of long bars. However, they can only be called ‘Aachener Printen’ if they are actually made in Aachen.

Richly caramelized oxtails are simmered low and slow with vegetables in a wine sauce until the meat comes off the bones. It can be eaten on its own or served mashed potatoes (cauliflower puree if you are on keto), bread dumplings and pasta.
A ragoût is essentially the same as a stew, except that most recipes for ragout are originally French, and often chunks of meat and vegetables cooked together at a low heat for a few hours until tender. But it also can be made with fish or just vegetables. A ragù is an Italian pasta sauce that is usually made with minced meat and/or vegetables.

Carbonnade Flamande – Flemish Beef and Beer Stew

Friday, November 28, 2025

Carbonnade is a Belgium / Flemish iconic stew which features fork-tender chunks of beef and plenty of caramelized onions bathed in a hearty beer broth. French fries are considered a classic accompaniment to Carbonnade Flamande, but mashed potatoes, crusty bread, pasta or simple roasted vegetables are also excellent. The classic choice of beer for Carbonnade is usually brown ale, but it can also be made a dark or golden ale, depends on what you prefer. Try not to add too many different types of vegetables to the stew, just keep it simple with onions. Tomatoes, leeks or carrots have no place in Carbonnade Flamande, which is best the traditional way. This recipe can be adapted for your instant pot (about 45 minutes) or slow cooker (4-5 hours at slow), but the browning and caramelizing steps are still required.

Baja Roast Chicken

Baja cuisine is a fusion cuisine from Mexico's Baja California peninsula that blends traditional Mexican flavours and ingredients with Mediterranean and Asian influences, emphasizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Tender, juicy and super flavourful, this Baja chicken is easy to make and perfect for a homey comforting meal with salsa, corn tortillas, refried beans, or rice. It uses chicken thighs and is marinated in a lovely citrusy marinade and roasted to perfection.
Mexican oregano has a hint of lime and some mild licorice or anise notes in it. If you cannot find it, then marjoram is a better substitute for Mexican oregano than European oregano, because the flavour profile is more similar.

Tender, aromatic Tunisian spiced lamb chops served on a bed of thick plain yoghurt and pomegranate seeds and mint leaves make a delicious, easy healthy dinner recipe. Ras el Hanout is a spice blend found in Tunisian cuisine, very similar to Moroccan spice mix. Only Tunisian versions often incorporate chilli and hot paprika for a more spicy and aromatic flavuor. The best substitutes will be baharat or a mix of equal parts of spices like cumin, coriander, paprika, along with a generous pinch of cinnamon.

An easy weeknight chicken dinner that packs a punch of flavour. A sprinkle of fresh mint on top adds a burst of freshness. The tanginess of lemon perfectly complements the natural sweetness and earthiness of creamy tahini, creating a harmonious and intriguing blend that tantalizes your taste buds. The tender and juicy chicken is perfectly infused and roasted, making each bite amazingly flavourful. I have paired it with a simple bulgur cranberry salad, but you can pair it with almost anything. A green salad or some roasted vegetables are both wonderful.
