Roast Chicken with Cinnamon

A simple dish of chicken and potatoes in the oven. The difference is that we used tomato and cinnamon instead of the classic lemon juice. A different taste of the chicken, with the wonderful flavor and characteristic aroma of cinnamon!

This is the way that my mother used to cook the chicken. She cooked easter lamb with that same way. With this simple and delicious way she filled a huge tray / plate with the easter lamb and sent it for roasting to the bakery of the neighborhood. Kids (it was us) loved it, the larges pieces of potatoes, crispy with a brown color, but juicy and fluffy inside.

Do not be surprised by the use of cinnamon, just try it!

For those who don't remember our earliest proposal with Leeks au Gratin this is your chance for a reminder.

Linguine with Shrimp & Ouzo

The combination of pasta and seafood, especially shrimp, makes a delicious result that very few would have objected to taste!
This proposal is simple yet offers a complex taste! If you have never enjoyed it from your hands this is an opportunity to try it.
The key parameter for its taste is the freshness of the shrimp. You can use frozen, but the flavor of sea will be less pronounced.
The process, especially the preparation and cleaning of the shrimp is a bit lengthy, so ask the sous chef to assist you, or arm yourself with some good mood and time, and start. The final result will reward you.
