By using the whole chicken, my aunt maximizes the flavor of the broth while also cooking the meat that serves as the dish's protein, rather than the sliced beef, tripe, and meatballs found in aromatic beef phở recipes. Her homemade phở broth is truly a labor of love. It's rich and aromatic, full of flavor, and umami rendered from the whole chicken as it cooks. The bones give the broth depth of flavor, while the fats, cartilage, and meat bring richness.

This season at English National Opera begins with Cinderella (Rossini's La Cenerentola), landing at the London Coliseum in a bold reimagination that sets the tone for ENO's Autumn/Winter 2025 season. With a red carpet rolled out in front of the Coliseum on St Martin's Lane, this new production, directed by Julia Burbach and conducted by Yi-Chen Li, casts Cinderella as a modern heroine who dares to hope for authenticity and connection in a world of appearances.
