MAIN COURSE: Potato Stewed with Chicken
|
|
|
Potato and chicken stew is a classic example of everyday Eastern European comfort food. After potatoes were introduced to the region in the 18th century, they quickly became a staple, often paired with whatever meat was available. Slow simmering in one pot made this dish practical for village kitchens and outdoor cooking alike—much like your version, which has that rustic, fire-cooked feel.

NEW RECIPE
Lavender Syrup
Lavender syrup has long been made in Provence, France, where fields of fragrant lavender bloom every summer. This homemade version uses freshly harvested culinary lavender blossoms to create a delicate floral syrup that pairs beautifully with coffee, tea, lemonade, sparkling water, cocktails, and desserts. The flavor is subtle and elegant—never overpowering—when steeped for the proper amount of time.
