I’ve always enjoyed being in houses’ kitchens. I like the smell and warmth regardless of what is being cooked.

One of my best memories is keeping company with my aunt Viviana –or Mami Vivi as I’ve always called her– making family lunch: this Chicken with mushrooms while listening to Chilena radio station and telling her about my university life. While in Med School, I often would rush to her house for lunch.

Chicken with mushrooms, Chilean recipe

Now, 20 years later, every Sunday during dinner, I write the grocery shopping list and ask if anyone would like something in particular. I make one dinner on demand and decide on the rest with whatever I have on hand or feel like cooking.

This time, my husband asked for chicken, NOT chicken breasts, but thighs or drumsticks. And I remembered this straightforward and tasty dish. I served it with mashed potatoes. When my husband opened the house door, he said: What smells so delicious? Talk about comfort food.
