“One very chilly fall day, a dear friend invited me to dinner at her beautiful home in Lacoste (a village in the Luberon crowned by an 11th-century château that was home to the Marquis de Sade in the late 1700s and later owned by the couturier Pierre Cardin). Somewhere between invite and arrival, the weeknight dinner turned dinner party, with a long table bedecked with local flowers and the platonic ideal of vintage linens and serving ware running the length of her living room straight into the kitchen. Ruth made gin and tonics, pavlova, and a chicken that was not this chicken. But I wrote this chicken recipe for and by channeling her.” Rebekah Peppler
