Chicken Biryani

Biryani was originally a family of aubergine dishes cooked for Princess Burans wedding to the powerful Caliph alMamoun son of Harun alRashid in ninth century Baghdad. Her real name was Khadijah but she was better known under the pet name of Buran after a Persian princess of the seventh century. There are still dishes called braniya in both Algeria and Morocco which centre round aubergines and meat. How could this lead to present day burani or borani or in fact the indian biryani which are all glorified pilaffs? Such are the mysteries of culinary evolution! I suspect that the dish was transformed with the addition of grain in Turkey.

Cock-a-leekie pie

Daube de boeuf de Gasconne

If France is the home of great food, then Gascony is her kitchen. Located east and south of Bordeaux, Gascony is the region of the duck – of foie gras, confit and rillettes – of Roquefort and truffles, of prunes and Armagnac and cassoulet. Every kind of fruit and vegetable – from aubergines to apricots, asparagus to artichokes – grows here in abundance, and generations of artisan producers make the greatest bread and charcuterie and patisserie that you will ever eat.

This rich beef and root vegetable stew is made with cognac and a red wine of the countryside. It is cooked using the stove top method.

Casseroles are a friendly way to cook in large quantities, hit every food group in a single pan, and generate yummy leftovers for the rest of the week.
