A taste of childhood, of Sunday lunch. The euphoria of escaping church and storming into the house full of energy and good spirits to the smell of Rosemary's Chicken! Rosemary is my childhood sweetheart's Mum - there is something about recipes trickling down through people and lives and countries. I love collecting favourite recipes and Mum bought this over from NZ. You can pretty much use the marinade on anything and keep it handy made up in the fridge, even roast lamb works a treat! Sometimes recipes don't work in strange hands, maybe it's the alchemy... I haven't yet managed to recreate the memory of Nana's Ginger Cake, baked in a round centreless tin, fresh out of the oven piled high with ginger wafts and slathered with melted butter even though I have the recipe. Here is the luscious marinade recipe from all those years ago...
