The first time you have this you will be amazed at the sweet and subtle flavour. If you didn’t know there was garlic in it you would never know.  The poached egg gives it a creaminess that is unreal. Traditionally it is served with a “croute” and grated cheese. We omit that for a lighter version when serving as a soup course. 1 separated head of garlic, unpeeled (about 16 cloves) 2 quarts water  2 teaspoon/10ml sea salt Pinch of  white pepper 2 whole cloves 1/4 teaspoon/1ml sage 1/4 teaspoon/1ml thyme 1/2 bay leaf 4 parsley sprigs 1 tablespoon/15ml olive oil 6 eggs, room temperature 6 hard toasted rounds of French bread (croutes)* Optional Drop garlic cloves in boiling water and boil 30 seconds. Drain, run cold water over them, and peel. Place the garlic and the rest of the ingredients in the saucepan and boil slowly for 30 minutes. Correct seasoning. After the soup has been simmered for half an hour, strain it into a wide, shallow saucepan.

What else can you do to improve your health and avoid bugs? It’s been a long, wet winter. Everybody has got colds, and now we are braced for a coronavirus epidemic. Boosting our immune system has rarely felt more urgent, but, beyond eating more tangerines and hoping for the best, what else can we do? Sheena Cruickshank, a professor of immunology at the University of Manchester, has a “shocking cold” when we speak at a safe distance, over the phone. To know how to take care of your immune system, she says, first you need to understand the weapons in your armoury – a cheeringly impressive collection, it turns out. “When you come into contact with a germ you’ve never met before,” she says, “you’ve got various barriers to try to stop it getting into your body.” As well as skin, we have mucus – “snot is a really

Chicken  scarpariello , the Italian-American dish of chicken braised with sausage and peppers in a sweet-and-sour sauce, is one of those perfect Tuesday-night meals. It's punchy, it's not for the timid, but it's ultimately very easy to make, requiring just a single sauté pan or Dutch oven, about 25 minutes on the stovetop, and a half hour in the oven. Serves: 4-6 4 chicken breasts or thighs, cut in large pieces. Thighs give more flavour and stay juicy. ½ teaspoon/2ml salt ¼ teaspoon/1ml black pepper 2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil 3-4 link Italian style sausages (sweet or hot, we prefer the hot) 1 red bell pepper, cut in 1 inch/2.5cm pieces 1 green bell pepper, cut in 1 inch/2.5cm pieces 3 hot cherry pepper drained, seeded & chopped 4 garlic clove chopped or thinly sliced ½ cup/120ml dry white wine ½ cup/120ml chicken stock 2 tablespoons/30ml cornstarch 2 tablespoons/30ml hot cherry pepper juice (optional) 12 ounces/340g orzo pasta olive oil Handful of parsley, ch
