A tagine is both the cooking pot, with a conical lid, and the finished dish.

Chicken Piccata ! This was an easy, flavorful slow cooker chicken main course with lemon, capers and tarragon.

I had a bag of yellow tomatoes in the freezer - thus the color in this dish.

I don't usually bother browning the meat or onions, but, as this was a weekend and I had more time I did for this dish.

Chicken and Asparagus Quiche, with leek, green garlic and a shredded potato crust.

I have lots of butternut squash but you could easily substitute broccoli or carrots or even canned red beans for a quicker dinner.

This is the opposite of a slow braise but the results are flavorful, tender meat and perfectly cooked vegetables.

The eggs and yogurt combine to make this a very creamy sauce - just be careful not to overcook.

Stir-Fries are a great week-night dinner, normally ready in under 30 minutes.

The shredded potato crust is much easier and faster than making a crust.
