So I Googled for “Pork and Bean” and came across this Corsican Bean Soup with Greens and Pork recipe on Food & Wine which sounded very interesting. Unfortunately I couldn’t source all the ingredients and had to make do with what I had. I also decided not to use the word Corsican in the title as I was not too sure how strict you have to follow this recipe to call it anything from Corsica.

We love chicken pie (who doesn’t?). Whether it’s Kotopita (Greek pie in filo pastry) . B’stilla (Moroccan pie with cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and saffron) or a good old South African chicken pie with hard boiled eggs and sago.
We decided to put a twist on the traditional South African version by making it with smoked chicken, pancetta and leeks.
This is an easy recipe for a seeded rye sourdough bread

For most people following a low carb diet bread is usually the most difficult food to give up. After all it is delicious and super convenient.
Since we started eating a bit more low carb a couple of years ago I’ve tried countless low carb bread recipes. Almond flour is too expensive and I don’t like the taste of coconut flour in a savoury bread. Grinding up linseeds and sunflower seeds became my preferred low carb “flour”.

I love pomegranate molasses. It’s tartness and sweetness gives a wonderful taste to sauces, dressings, dips and even drinks. It goes particularly well with chicken. Scouring the web for a chicken pomegranate recipe I came across a one-pot Ottolenghi recipe for Chicken with Prunes and Pomegranate Molasses.
