THE CANNY COOK: One-pot roasted chicken with white wine and cannellini beans
I love the tradition of a Sunday roast as much as the next person, but I think we can agree that there's just no place for it in the middle of summer. On a warm day, no one wants the oven blazing for hours, and the mad juggle that takes place 20 minutes before serving (the carving, finishing the gravy and plating the trimmings) is even less appealing in a hot kitchen. As an alternative, I've taken to pot-roasting. It's a brilliant all-in-one way to cook a joint or a whole bird, keeping the meat lovely and tender and creating lots of cooking juices in the process. It's great for tougher cuts like topside or brisket, which are much cheaper than a rib of beef. And I find that pot-roasting a chicken is an effective way to keep the breast meat nice and juicy, which I rarely achieve when roasting. This week's recipe is a delightfully simple affair, teaming the chicken with white beans and shallots, though you could pile in all sorts of vegetables – wedges of fennel and baby carrots, or swap the beans for new potatoes. I would also recommend stuffing the chicken with half a lemon and a handful of thyme, if you have them. Browning the bird at the start is probably the most arduous task, but it's worth it so you can enjoy the skin, too. METHOD Thirty minutes before cooking, take the chicken out of the fridge and season inside and out with salt. Put a large casserole (I use a 29cm oval Le Creuset, roughly 5 litres in volume) over a medium heat. Rub the chicken all over with 1 tbsp olive oil and brown in the pan, turning it every 3-4 minutes until the skin is as evenly golden as possible all over. Lift out and set aside on a plate. Add the peeled and halved shallots to the pan (along with a few unpeeled garlic cloves if you have them). Fry with a good pinch of salt for 4-5 minutes. Pour in the wine and leave to bubble for 2-3 minutes, then add 200ml chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Sit the chicken back in the pan, breast-side up, and add the drained and rinsed beans. Cover with the lid and cook over a low heat for 50 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Take off the heat and leave to stand for 10-20 minutes before lifting the chicken out to carve. Serve in bowls with the brothy beans. Crusty bread, mustardy mayonnaise and a green salad make good accompaniments. Do you have a great recipe for eating well and cutting food bills?

Review: ‘Splash Hatch on the E Going Down' by Definition Theatre is about a strong-minded teenager
When a bright, curious adolescent has access to a library and a strong sense of justice, it's no surprise if she becomes passionate about one or more social issues and spouts her newfound knowledge to anyone who will listen. But no amount of book learning can fully prepare her when injustice hits close to home — a tension that squeezes the heart of Thyme, the 15-year-old protagonist of 'Splash Hatch on the E Going Down' by Kia Corthron. Jada Jackson stars as this precocious Black teen in the play's Chicago premiere at Definition Theatre, directed by Cheryl Lynn Bruce. Thirteen weeks pregnant when we first meet her, Thyme lives in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City with her parents (Quenna Lené Barrett and Stetson Pierre) and shares her childhood bedroom with her new husband, 18-year-old Erry (Jabari Khaliq). As she eagerly reads up on fetal development, her baby bump grows alongside that of her best friend, Shaneequa (Rita Wicks), a former track standout who's expecting her second child. Teen pregnancy and marriage are presented in a matter-of-fact manner in the play, with little judgment from other characters beyond a mild rebuke from Thyme's father. While Shaneequa mourns the loss of her athletic dreams and bemoans the difficulty of finding childcare during school hours, the impact of young motherhood on Thyme's academic and career aspirations aren't discussed. Although it soon becomes clear that she has more pressing concerns, this omission feels odd for such a bookish character. An avid reader about environmental injustice, climate change and animal welfare, Thyme practices what she preaches at home, conserving water by strictly scheduling sex for Thursdays (to avoid extra laundry) and not flushing the toilet between bouts of morning sickness. She also dips her toe further into activism later in the play, which lands her in trouble. However, when both Erry and Shaneequa are affected by the negative health outcomes too often experienced by Black and low-income Americans, Thyme distances herself from them, not knowing how to respond when such crises come for her loved ones. Jackson is convincing and lovable as the bright-eyed teen, and she ably navigates Thyme's complicated confrontation with tragedy. There's a moment when Thyme comes across as surprisingly heartless, and the audience responded with a few gasps on opening night — but after the next scene, when Thyme herself breaks down, it's easy to feel compassion for this struggling girl. After all, what 15-year-old knows how to properly respond to someone else's primal pain? Do most of us ever really learn how to act in such situations? Several of Corthron's other plays have been criticized for being too preachy, and 'Splash Hatch' shows this tendency at times, especially during Thyme's ideological monologues. But in Corthron's more poetic passages, water is the vessel for some beautiful language, as Thyme dreams about giving birth in a tub and ponders humanity's watery origins and the saline blood that flows through our veins. The aquatic theme is reflected in Brian Bembridge's blue-tiled set design, Conchita Avitia's cool lighting tones and Willow James' oceanic soundscape. Given its ecological focus, it's strange that the play shies away from the moral quandary of bringing new life into a dying world, which is a common theme in climate fiction and a growing concern among environmentally minded people of childbearing age. Thyme acknowledges Americans' harmful overconsumption of the planet's energy and resources, yet when contemplating her pregnancy, she shrugs and says, 'Guess just one more won't hurt.' This seems out of character for someone who, in her effort to save water, bathes so sporadically that her mother complains about her body odor. But perhaps Thyme's unwavering excitement about motherhood — even in the face of sobering statistics about climate collapse and the rates of maternal and infant mortality among Black Americans — is purely an expression of the old adage: where there is life, there is hope. While the play may be thematically inconsistent and occasionally didactic, there's value in Thyme's optimism, no matter how tinged with pain. After all, the best climate fiction is about humans finding a way to survive in spite of devastating loss. Without that hope, where would we be? Emily McClanathan is a freelance critic. When: Through April 13 Where: Definition Theatre, 1160 E 55th St Running time: 2 hours, 5 minutes
