Mardi Michels makes Mr. Neil's Roast Chicken

Sunday Night Dinner

When it comes to French cuisine, roast chicken is a classic. Listen as Mardi Michels (author of In the French Kitchen with Kids) makes her favourite version of this classic. Key: lots of butter! Mardi teaches French at a small school for boys in Toronto, and she also writes the blog eatlivetravelwrite.com. As part of her teaching job, Mardi runs cooking classes twice per week for the boys who are aged 7 to 14. Mardi loves France (where she lived for five years before moving to Toronto) and her book is the perfect way to introduce kids to French cooking. I also visited Mardi and her students at cooking club while they made meatballs and tomato sauce in under an hour. It was totally inspiring!
