    If you have been following me on facebook or instagram you know that I recently joined a cooking course at Richmond Adult Community College, it has a fantastic range of courses from languages, philosophy, arts and crafts to computing. Since we moved to Sunbury in August, I have not had much opportunity to make new friends and so I decided to take my luck in my own hands and join a class where I might find like-minded spirits.

    The course is called "Classic Dishes" and is led by our teacher John - who we all just call "Chef". We are about 8 in the class and I have been learning dishes such as Beef Wellington, Tart Tartin, Lemon Tart, and of course this Chicken Casseur. My colleagues at work look forward to Friday because this is where I usually share my cakes and quiches.20150305_202523

    I never had Chicken Chasseur before; but I can tell you know that - OH MY GOOD I did not know that chicken can taste so good. For that class John taught us how to take apart and skin a whole chicken. This is a very useful skill to have as a whole chicken are way cheaper and better value for money than the skinned and filleted versions that you can get at the supermarket. Check out the video at the end of this post to learn youself!

    This without doubt has been my favourite recipe from this class and I really wanted to share it with you. The chicken is succulent, the sauce rich, the flavours balanced - it is delicious. But it's not German it's French. I decided to Germanise it by using German Riesling wine as an ingredient. So I have done my part for the German-Franco relationship 🙂

    Because I found it very useful to learn how to take a chicken apart; I added this Gordon Ramsey video.
