Roasted Chicken

Travel & Living has some of the best cooking shows. While I love all of them I am a little biased towards Anjum Anand's "Indian food made easy".

I like the way she makes it easy. The way she goes into the nook and corner to source ingredients, spices, substitutes etc. etc.

Here's Anjum Anand's chicken roast recipe. Snaps are mine.
