We are a chicken soup family too.  When my 39 year old daughter is ill, all she wants is some of my chicken soup and at the moment her 4 year old daughter only wants chicken soup (and she isn't sick).  Mind you, all that changed the other night when I took them down a casserole dish of moussaka and the little one came back for seconds!  Will try your version Paul.

Never used it myself Caroline but just googled 'wild rice recipes' and there are heaps of things on there for you to have a look at.

Having a cooking day today for visitors coming to lunch tomorrow.  Just made the Capsicum & Sundried Tomato Dip, everyday book page 54.  Very nice, different!  Far too much though so was wondering if anyone has made this one and frozen a portion for later. If not, looks like daughter will get it when I see her on Tuesday. She has made this one before and loved it so I knew it was going to be OK - not brave enough to try something different like this recipe unless it has been recommended.

I ended up freezing half of this dip and recently took some out for a visitor.  Was able to cut it in half and put the rest back in the freezer and yes, it freezes well.

Poor ma-in-law! Maybe she did it on purpose so you wouldn't go away  - no only joking!!  Glad you have that book, now you can try lots of things for the rest of us (here's hoping you do catch plenty of fish) and post your reviews when you get back. If you are going to keep travelling like this Cookie1, you will have to get yourself a lap-top like Thermomixer.  Good luck with your departure date.

Thanks Cookie1, now I know how you felt when you won the cooking competition for March although there was much more skill involved in your win than mine - I just went about my daily routine of postings, forgetting all about the book prize ) ) )

I am making this one as we speak but using 3 chicken marylands skinned and some scraggy bits of bone removed - I have 6 pieces - plenty for 3-4 people I would think.  Will report back after tea tonight.  Chicken marylands cost only $1 each here so it is a really cheap meal and I'm hoping the recipe turns out as well as using thigh fillets would.

Review - This is an excellent meal, low fat too.  I substituted the chicken thighs with skinned and partly deboned chicken marylands (cut in half at the joint) for a much cheaper meal.  The cooking time was still perfect.  I think I will double the sauce next time though as I am a real sauce lover and even if it is too much,  the excess can be frozen for something else. Seasoning was perfect.

5/5 from me and DH

Bron, you are the first person I have heard who has said that boys are harder to raise than girls - it is usually the other way round in this country!

What, you haven't tried Bron's steamed garlic rice I Love Bimby! It is in the vegie section of the forum and is delicious - actually it is the only way I cook rice these days.
