 Recipe Corner 

Chicken & Leeks
 
1 whole chicken (3-4 lb.)
 1/2 lemon
 3 leeks, halved and washed thoroughly
 1 pint chicken stock (optional)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp. finely chopped Italian parsley
1 pinch of dried tarragon (or 1 tsp. freshly chopped tarragon)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 
 
chicken

Preheat oven to 300 F. Remove giblets from chicken cavity, clean chicken, and pat dry. Rub chicken inside and out with lemon, squeezing juice as you do so. Leave lemon in chicken cavity. Place chicken in large Dutch oven or other heavy-lidded casserole. Place leek halves around chicken. If you prefer a very moist casserole, pour stock over leeks. Use pastry brush to cover chicken with melted butter. Sprinkle all over with parsley, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Insert meat thermometer in thickest part of thigh, taking care to not touch the bone. Place lid on casserole and cook for 2-2 1/2 hours. Cook until meat thermometer reads 180 F, or juice is no longer pink when center of thigh is sliced and drumstick moves easily when lifted. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with leeks and liquid from casserole.

Sheridan 1909

 

 

Sheridan,Today

 
 

 

 

Author of the brilliant The Other Boleyn Girl, Philippa Gregory returns to the Tudor court in this equally absorbing novel.

 

Meet the Roncalli and Angelini families, a vibrant cast of colorful characters who navigate tricky family dynamics with hilarity and brio, from magical Manhattan to the picturesque hills of bella Italia. Very Valentine is the first novel in a trilogy and is sure to be the new favorite of Trigiani's millions of fans around the world.

 

 

 As special as The Kite Runner was, A Thousand Splendid Suns is more so, bringing Hosseini's compassionate storytelling and his sense of personal and national tragedy to a tale of two women that is weighted equally with despair and grave hope.
