Recipe: Slow-Cooker Chicken in Milk — Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
British chef Jamie Oliver’s recipe for chicken braised in milk has made the rounds here at The Kitchn, and we all agree it is absolutely divine. It’s a recipe that takes some trust — cook a whole chicken in milk? But trust you should — the results more than speak for themselves.
This lemony, sage-infused chicken with its incredible golden sauce has become a perennial visitor to my autumn menus, and this year, I decided to take it to the slow cooker. Here’s my riff on the original — same tender chicken, now with even more hands-off time.
5 Things We’ve Learned from Paris Kitchens — Design Lessons from The Kitchn
Why do so many of us have an unabashed crush on Paris, and French culture in general? I know it’s all very romanticized, and yet if a Paris apartment shows up on Apartment Therapy or there’s a peek into a French kitchen here on The Kitchn, there I am — drool on face, dreams in head. It doesn’t matter if the kitchen is the size of a shoebox; it’s the size of a shoebox … in Paris.
I thought I’d take a more practical approach today, however, and point out some of the recurring details and interesting features I’ve noticed in many Paris kitchens.

The Best $20 I Ever Spent on My Kitchen — Life in the Kitchen
A few weeks ago I shared the best and worst things I’ve ever bought for my kitchen. It was only later I realized I’d forgotten to include one key purchase that has definitely made my life in the kitchen a little — well, a lot! — better.
I’m dubbing it the best $20 I ever spent for my kitchen, and because that’s too good a secret to keep to myself, I asked my fellow Kitchn editors and writers to chime in with their own picks! Here’s what they said.
Recipe: Cheesy BBQ Chicken Calzone — Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
For those of you who don’t know me well, I am a full-fledged pizza junkie. I’m no snob, either — I don’t care whether it’s Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles or Papa John’s down the street.

But my favorite pies and calzones are always the ones straight from my own oven.
