Happy Birthday to my gorgeous baby Victoria, I hope you have a wonderful day, I love you very very much x 

We had Noah today and so the elaborate pasta took a back seat so we could just throw something in and not worry too much.  There is a recipe from Gurdeep Loyal’s book Flavour Heroes that was very very popular in July when it was our book of the month, chicken with maple épices spiced butter and grapes. Looking at the recipe I could not decide but it was so popular and everybody that made it said how fabulous it was and so it has sort of stayed in my line of site. Today seemed like the perfect day as you make the butter, throw it under the skin and over the top and bake. So we had that with my potatoes of the moment, smashed roasted.  OMG the chicken was so so so good, so simple but so amazing even I was surprised and the grapes went so well with chicken.  This is absolutely a repeater, without a shadow of a doubt.
