In this episode, we welcome guest, Nancy May, from the Family Tree, Food & Stories Podcast. Nancy and her co-host, Silvia Lovely, have also authored a book: My Family Tree, Food & Stories. We chat about these projects, and a recipe from Nancy, her Mom's Special Chicken.
Mom's Special Chicken is an easy dish of baked chicken pieces (breast or thighs), browned and then baked with apricot preserves, white wine and pine nuts. You can make it your own by adding herbs and seasonings, and you could swap broth for the wine if you like. We enjoyed Mom's Special Chicken with homemade egg noodles, but Nancy says she usually serves it with rice, which does a great job of soaking up that yummy apricot sauce.
Family Tree, Food & Stories podcast connects generations through family stories, food history, and heritage. Each episode uncovers the stories behind cherished recipes, unforgettable meals with family and friends, and unique food traditions that bring us together at the table. Nancy and Silvia, along with their guests, celebrate how food creates lasting connections - every meal tells a story, and every story is a feast waiting to be shared.
My Family Tree, Food & Stories, an illustrated book in a journal format, helps you do just that: capture the essence of these special moments, family food traditions, and passed-down recipes all in one place. Silvia and Nancy hope it will, in time, become your family’s treasure trove of fun-to-remember stories, almost-lost recipes, and family faces and places from the past.
