My cooking skills used to reach only to heating up a microwave meal. With my friend's encouragement, my 2009 New Year's resolution was to try at least one new receipe every week. I fell in love with cooking since, and find cooking the best way to quiet my mind and melt my stress. So I would like to use this blog to document my adventure, show off my results (all pictures taken by myself), and share the recipes I found or modified or created.

20090812 Chicken Cacciatore
(SOURCE: BBC Good Food Magazine)
I halved the recipe ingredients and served this with garlic bread.
INGREDIENTS
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
olive oil
400g tin cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp mascarpone
handful fresh basil leaves
3 chicken breasts
METHOD
1. Heat the oven to 190C. Fry the onion and garlic in about 1 tbsp olive oil until softened but not colored. Add the tomatoes, season, then simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until thick and glossy. Take off the heat and stir in the mastcarpone and half the basil, roughly torn.
2. Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the chicken on both sides until golden. Transfer to a baking dish and pour over the sauce. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Scatter over the rest of the basil.
