Capital Kitchen Cafe Tamper, Matte Black

Food Stylist Fiona Hugues - this is another one of my Frenchman’s family recipes that I’ve adapted slightly to suit our antipodean living. I have added extra veggies on the top by the way of crispy cauliflower florets instead of the usual croutons.

Food Stylist Fiona Hugues - This is my version of a classic French Chicken Pie. Don’t skimp on puff pastry as a good quality flaky one makes all the difference. I use chicken thigh fillets as the leg meat, in my opinion, it has far more flavour and has less tendency to be dry. Make extra filling and freeze it for a fast family meal – just thaw overnight in the fridge.

Food stylist Fiona Hugues - my Frenchman loves nothing more than a good Apple Tartin. We’ve been married for 20 years and I think I’ve finally managed to make it just like his mother used to. I serve it with cheats caramel cinnamon ice cream which is good to eat on its own too.
