One of my favorite cookbook authors is Geraldene Holt. She wrote the seminal classic on country cooking called ‘French Country Kitchen’. This is a variation of her recipe for white beans in tomato sauce.

Chickpeas stewed in tomato sauce is a popular flavor combination in Provence. I added chunks of homemade espelette sausages I had leftover from a sausage-making experiment. You could use spicy Italian sausages or even Moroccan merguez.

My earliest attempt at cookery began with the filleting of my sister's goldfish at age 2 and cooking my pet rabbits by age 7. Life has been downhill ever since.
