Letters to the editor — Thursday, September 17

Thank you for reminder of how friends should treat each other

The Sharon Playhouse production of Come From Away is timely not only for the 25th anniversary of September 11 but also as a reminder of the special relationship between Canadians and Americans.

Bobby’s Chicken Provençal

Bobby’s Chicken Provençal

A taste of late summer, with tomatoes, herbs and plenty of good sauce.

Bobby Graham

September is one of our favorite times of year in the kitchen.Summer isn’t quite over, fall is beginning to make itself known, and gardens and local farm stands are overflowing with some of the best tomatoes of the season.

That’s when we make this Chicken Provençal. It’s one of those recipes that feels special enough to serve to friends but easy enough for a weeknight dinner for two.That’s how we like to cook: simple, generous food that brings people to the table without keeping you in the kitchen all evening.
