Cherry season has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean you can’t relive the festive flavours in February, Chef! A sweet-soy sauce, infused with thyme and a savoury chicken stock, is created from earthy red wine with smashed frozen cherries to create a glistening stickiness from oven-roasted chicken pieces. Served with soft baby potatoes deliciously covered in butter and zesty green beans. A culinary gift with every bite.
