Rustic Italian loaf from Canadian living breads and pizzas

This has a very wet dough and due to this I use the bread machine on the dough cycle, stopping the cycle just before it kneads the dough down. After this it’s fairly easy (use lots of flour on work surface)... read more >

Parmesan chicken breasts with crispy posh ham

From: Jamie's Ministry of Food: Anyone Can Learn to Cook in 24 Hours (reviewed 5th August 2018)

This was excellent and very easy to make. Chicken breasts are lightly bashed, topped with cheese, herbs,and Parmesan and then pan fried. I made this as shown in the YouTube video using both thyme and rosemary. I would increase the herbs next time (just personal preference). The one caveat is the size of the chicken breasts; North American chicken pieces are much bigger than British so needed to be split before cooking. I served on a bed of greens, cherry tomatoes and shaved fennel fresh from the garden for a delicious meal.

Vegetable Jalfrezi

From: Jamie's Ministry of Food: Anyone Can Learn to Cook in 24 Hours (reviewed 13th January 2023)

I agree this is a lovely dish, and it’s very adaptable. I used the jalfrezi curry paste from the author's website and changed the vegetables according to what I had. My version had carrots and potatoes from my veg garden instead of the squash and cauliflower. I added green peas at the end instead of the chickpeas, and served with rice. I had to omit the cilantro but I’m sure it would be a good addition. Will definitely repeat this.
