1

Mushroom Duxelles

Cook the mushrooms until all moisture evaporates to prevent soggy pastry. Aim for a thick, paste-like consistency.

2

Puff Pastry Handling

Keep the puff pastry cold to avoid softness. Chill if it becomes too soft, and score the top lightly without cutting through.

7

Pour in chicken stock and give a stir to combine so liquid will thicken. Add rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, sage, and chicken. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat and simmer until chicken is very tender, about 25 minutes.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
