From Wikipedia: Chicken Divan is a chicken casserole usually served with broccoli and Mornay sauce. It was named after the place of its invention, the Divan Parisien Restaurant in the New York City Chatham Hotel where it was served as the signature dish in the early 20th century. In French, the word divan refers to a meeting place or great hall.

More tempting seafood ideas . . .

A bunch of winners here . . .

A few more dishes à la Americana, and one Syrian, for good measure. Don't miss the advice for when you're next hosting a king and his poodles.

Cookbooks of this period were never short on ideas for ways to recycle leftover turkey.

Till next time!
