Lamb makes a wonderful sauce to splash over pasta, or better yet, cheese-filled tortellini. This version of ragú is wonderfully complex, with a deliciously interesting combination of herbs and spices. This is company fare. Continue reading

Okay, so Carrot Soup has been done before. The Goddess does not live under a rock, so she’s aware of this. But, she thinks it’s just a good idea to master “basic” recipes. Then that recipe can then be a “jumping off” point for new flavor adventures. This is such a recipe. Continue reading
