Cotswold House Hotel & Spa in Chipping Campden

The Cotswolds is one of England’s most picturesque regions, thanks to its many well-preserved towns and villages built of beautiful yellow limestone, quarried locally. Narrow streets lined with elegant old buildings glow golden in the early morning and late afternoon sun, appealing to anyone interested in history and well-preserved architecture.

Cheesy Leftover Chicken Pot Pie

I bought a rotisserie chicken the other day and after dinner, I picked the remaining meat from the bones.

CHICKEN IN LEMON-HONEY MARINADE WITH ROSEMARY, MUSTARD, PEPPER AND GARLIC

I definitely love this chicken. Poussin with lemon, honey, garlic, rosemary, and mustard. How does it taste? Spicy. A sour-sweet, slightly mustardy viscous sauce. It has all the fullness of flavor. You will definitely like it. What part of the chicken to use? I just love frozen little French poussins. But you can use chicken thighs, legs, wings, or fillets with skin.

For example, sweet peppers,...
