I've made this several times and we love it! All day I made chicken stock, and then around 4pm, I sauteed the leeks, 2 shallots, garlic, and about a cup of leftover roast chicken doused in flour and followed the recipe as is, using the freshly made stock. I used sherry for the wine and sweet potatoes instead of white, and the sweetness worked well. I also forgot the mustard, and then decided to omit the kale. I think it's really great both ways! This recipe is wonderful and I plan to continue making it once a month. Thanks, Abba!

<p>I was born in Southern Arizona with a taste for spice. Keeping kosher in Arizona was a challenge, so I had to eat at home a lot which meant I needed to experiment to have a variety of food available. I moved to Israel and my pallet has grown and cooking has blossomed. <br /> <br />I cook for the fun of it and rarely use a recipe as more than a base. I love to experiment and try new techniques and ideas.</p>
