Chicken and Olives... the recipe!

Sorry girls I know I promised to post this recipe

a couple of days ago but...

I've had the dreaded flu

in the middle of Summer - how does that happen?

...and I'm feeling suitably

sorry for myself..sniff. cough!!! 

I've been dosing myself up with

all manner of weird and wonderful potions!

My advice to family and friends for sore throats

is to swallow a peeled clove of garlic

wrapped in a spoon of the best honey...

(last thing at night) 

then magically come morning

your sore throat has gone!

Did I take my own advice?

unfortunately no...

I was feeling so miserable I couldn't think

of anything, so I've let it ride it's course

in between popping panadol and 

sipping "Gee's Linctus".

An old remedy for coughs

that the pharmacist will make up!

Enough of my ailments....!!!

CHICKEN AND OLIVES - THE RECIPE

 click on the picture to enlarge so you can print it off!

When you do this you'll see the page is splattered

with bits of this and that,

which tells you it's a very well used recipe!

It's a one dish recipe which is what I

love about it.

I often add a lemon cut into ⅛ ths

(leave skin on).

I serve it with a simple green salad.

The recipe is from this book.

Julie is a well known New Zealand cook

with many stimulating books published.

You may be able to order it from your

local library if you're interested!

On my kitchen bench today is a new pot

of herbs, basil chives and coriander.

Behind it is a plate I bought at a market years ago

it's a copy of an Italian design I think.

Sitting in front of my recipe book holder

are two large cups

we have our first coffee of the morning

from these!!

They are from Provence and the

mark on the back is "Terre Provence"!

I haven't used one recipe from this book

but I love the beautiful images

of French life

my daily reminder of where

my family live!
