I woke up today full of plans to cook and photograph several recipes – my one resolution this year was to be more organised.
Well, this was very ambitious – and a little bit foolish – since today was quite possibly the dullest, darkest day ever. The sun didn’t stand a chance against the grey clouds and persistent rain. And my camera was practically laughing and pointing – ‘you want to photograph three recipes? Today? Ha!’
One of the recipes didn’t turn out well just to spite me – it was a meatloaf recipe that tasted delicious but looked simply awful.
The cake was a similar story – tasted amazing but the glaze technique I was trying is tricky and it didn’t quite work. Hoping to salvage it tomorrow though – it is a GOOD cake!
The last recipe was made out of necessity – I had chicken thighs that had to be cooked today. It wasn’t meant to be a blogpost.
But in desperation to salvage something out of my ambition I decided to photograph it anyway – using artificial lights.
It was simply too delicious to ignore and so easy – the kids surprised me by loving it and they are very hard to please.

I don’t often cook with chicken thighs that aren’t skinless and de-boned, but I must admit they taste a million times tastier.
Do remove some of the skin if there’s a lot and also some of the fat if the chicken is fatty. The marinade will make the chicken super-flavourful and the slow cooking very moist and tender.
I used my Le Crueset lidded shallow casserole for this which is perfect for one-pot meals.
