This is the most scrummy of dishs: chicken with honey and baby onions from Claudia Roden's excellent book Arabesque. We brought mum a copy for Christmas and got so excited looking for ingrediants to add to her present that we decided to do a Moroccan feast for Heather's birthday. Alongside the chicken dish we did some little lamb pastries with yoguht sauce (utterly delicous), a warm sweet potato salad (awesomely unexpectedly good) and a tomato and aubergine dish (nice but I executed it poorly so it ended up too garlicy). Really yummy stuff indeed especially when also served with the Chocolate Marquisse from the Green & Black's Cookbook (alarmingly good but featuring 10 eggs!!) and a big bottle of vintage champagne. To follow our leftovers we also have some leftover pastries (again from Arabesque) that we made just before we left Cardiff - little fragrant almond cigar type things baked in filo and dripping with yumminess. They went very well with the Oranges in Orange Syrup. Num. Despite Heather getting 3 recipe books for her birthday I think we'll be off to get our own copy of Arabesque very soon indeed.
