Episode 3 - "Can you picture how drop dead gorgeous this city is in the rain?"

What time in history would be your ideal ‘golden age’? This is the main theme of Midnight in Paris (2011), a film by Woody Allen in which the protagonist, played by Owen Wilson, travels back in time to meet artists such as Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Picasso and Gertrude Stein while, conveniently, falling in love. We discuss the film with visual artist Monica Rivas Velasquez. At the end of the episode we cook chicken Maryland, a recipe Scott Fitzgerald was fond of, but we have our own take on it.

From the show:

Chicken Maryland by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Cut a 3 ½ pound chicken into pieces. Dip each piece into milk, season with salt and pepper, dredge in flour, and let dry 30 minutes. In heavy skillet heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and sauté chicken on all sides until nicely browned. Add 1 cup hot water, ¼ teaspoon cumin, and ¼ teaspoon sage, and let come to boil. Immediately reduce heat, cover, and let simmer 45 minutes. Remove lid and simmer until all moisture has evaporated from pan. Serve.
