CHICKEN TONIGHT with leftovers

You can use practically every part of the chicken, from the livers for pâté, to the carcass to make stock. When I’m cooking a roast chicken for four, I’ll deliberately get a bigger one so that I have some meat to dip into in the days to come. Spring roast chicken with tarragon-rich salsa verde is one of my go-to dishes when I’m making a roast on Sunday. You can prepare the salsa verde ahead and let the chicken get on with its roasting while you make the vegetables and potatoes

Treats With A Twist
Not everyone is a fan of raisins, so I wondered what else I could add to a classic bread and butter pud. I instantly thought of banana – pillowy and sweet, and eternal friend to honey and cinnamon, they work beautifully in this comfort-food classic.
