I like to brush the chicken pieces with a tasty sauce of honey and Dijon mustard. The sweet-savory flavor combination is phenomenal! While simply baked chicken breast is a fine everyday choice, and blackened chicken and pizza chicken are very flavorful, wrapping the chicken in bacon elevates it to a whole new level. The bacon adds a delightfully smoky flavor and keeps the chicken juicy. The honey-mustard sauce finishes the dish, creating a delicacy from the simplest ingredients....

I have used couscous for many years in my dishes. It is part of a different cuisine – the Moroccan cuisine. This meant that I only made couscous according to the British way (a couscous salad or with roasted vegetables), which is hardly traditional… Another example is the famous British curry- it is so different from the curry served in India… For once, I thought that it would be a good idea to explore the Moroccan cuisine in a more traditional way....
