Book Test Cook 13 – Jimmy Stewart’s Chicken Pie

Another pie!  This time made for Shane and Ewan who battled their way around the British transport system to get to me – Northern Line madness. The pie was made exactly to Jimmy’s recipe – including the pastry and I was quite proud of it BUT I don’t think it was as good as the [...]

Jimmy Stewart’s Chicken Breast Italiano and Apple Pie

The lovely Arthur came for his birthday dinner and we had a Jimmy Stewart extravaganza.  Although the provenance of the chicken recipe is dubious the apple pie is definitely Jimmy’s own.  Shame I forgot the cheese in the pastry but it was still delicious (and I didn’t burn it  this time…)  The chicken was yummy [...]

We christened the splendid beast the “Piewacket” after Kim Novak’s cat in “Bell, Book and Candle”. OK, so I fell asleep [...]

Jimmy Stewart’s Chicken Pie with Clara Lou Sheridan’s Caramel Carrots

The rolling pin is a virgin no more. I don’t remember EVER making pastry without my mum being by my side telling me how it is done so I was VERY pleased with myself on Saturday when my chicken pie was a triumph! Both Rosalind and Jimmy Stewart himself complimented me on it and the [...]

“Not all of us were working at the same time, but enough of us. Hank Fonda knew how to cook rice. We lived pretty much on a rice diet.” On Friday Rosalind came over to the tub bringing her lovely new beau Jimmy Stewart. I thought I should cook him something by his namesake but [...]
