Braised Beef with Orange and FigsI’ve been reading this really interesting cookbook, ****************.   Actually, it’s less of a cookbook, though they have some wonderful recipes, and more of a reference work.  At least for me it is.  The authors are a chef and a specialist in scents.  What a combination, right?  Continue reading →

Vegetable Soup with Italian FlavorsWith flu season upon us with a vengeance, I thought this was a good time of year to make a brothy, vegetable soup.  There are a few beans tossed in, but they were more of an afterthought.  This soup is all about vegetables, is slightly salty and will warm you to your bones.  Continue reading →

Tomato-Leek & Fennel Soup with LentilsI like lentils.  Actually, as far as legumes go, I think lentils may be my favorite.  The Latin Lover is, shall we say, less fond of them.  A bad childhood memory.  But I’m trying to convert him.  It’s always good to eradicate a bad childhood food memory and create a new, all-gown-up food memory!  I think this soup may have done it!   Continue reading →
