For as long as there have been written recipes, there have been ones dedicated to winning someone’s love. Recently, a creamy Tuscan-style one-pan chicken dish was deemed ‘marry me chicken’ and propelled into viral social-media fame. This week, we have a recipe for a creamy, cheesy, tomatoey orzo reminiscent of the tasty chicken dish but with a different flavour profile. Read the recipe.

Also this week: some rich, complex wines perfect for a cold fall night.
