I saw a clip of Jamie Oliver cooking his “Sticky-Kicking chicken” online a week ago and just loved the teqnique he used for getting maximum flavour out of a humble little chicken thigh. Jamie rubs the thighs with Chinese 5-spice and then fries it in a hot pan until cooked and finally adds some sweet chilli sauce to the pan to create a delicious, sticky chicken. I loved this idea and decided to make it for dinner a few nights ago. The only problem was that I didn’t have any 5-spice in the house but decided to use a fragrant Garam Masala and honey instead. This is a perfect family-style…

I know I made this one quite hard but Simone persevered and finally got the answers right. Here are the answers. 1. Brown Mushroom 2. Pineapple 3.

When I was first asked to review Jamie Oliver’s new book by Yuppiechef, I was over the moon. I have always been a Jamie fan, since his days of being the ‘naked chef’.

And I haven’t stopped swooning ever since. When I received the package I was so excited and I urge all of you to buy something from Yuppiechef JUST to receive one of their packages. Beautifully made up with gorgeous…
I saw Jamie Oliver cooking this in his “Jamie at Home’ series and really liked the sound of it. Uncomplicated, delicious and easy food. Chicken is such a staple in our home and we eat it at least twice a week, and thinking of new ways to eat it becomes quite hard after you’ve tried it 300 different ways (this might be an exaggeration but I’m pretty sure it’s close enough to 300) . I don’t normally like cooked tomatoes that much (unless they are in a sauce etc.) but the sweetness of the cherry tomatoes works so well with the crispy, salty chicken skin.
