This is the post-ricotta tart and oatmeal cookie dinner I promised to post about: a somewhat strange recipe for chicken and milk from Jamie Oliver. Even Jamie says it’s “slightly odd”.

Though this sounds lovely, it was really the Mediterranean meatballs which caught my attention. The kofta are juicy and oh so flavorful, [...]
