Welcome to Litsy!

#25Alive!

I did buy this #Celebrate cookbook, used, years ago to go with the Sheila Lukins:Julee Rosso (Silver Palate) books in my cookbook collection but I confess that I haven‘t ever cooked from it! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #TooManyCookbooks

I always loved watching Pépin‘s cooking show ?

I love a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup when it‘s cold out! ❄️

#25Alive!

Soup is warmth, soup is comfort, soup is love… It‘s not just my #FaveWinterFood (joining the #soupbrigade here) it‘s a favorite food always.

I post about this book a lot, it‘s my favorite soup cookbook & a just favorite cookbook in general. Pictured are the Cauliflower Bisque with Buttered Breadcrumbs & the Pickle Soup. 🥣💙🍲

The photo doesn't do the stew justice, but it was SO GOOD. I couldn't find fresh habañeros*, so I used a jalapeño and a few dashes of habañero hot sauce. Caribbean-Style Swiss Chard and Butternut Squash Stew from the tagged.

*About 20 years ago, I had a habañero plant in a container on the balcony of our apartment in North Carolina. It grew to about three feet tall and produced at least a hundred habañeros. And now I can't find one pepper. *sigh*

The cold & new snow made for the slowly simmering Marcella Hazan‘s Bolognese sauce for dinner. ❤️🍝🥗

As it's Sunday, I made Dutch Sunday Soup, from the tagged book. It is made with whatever vegetables are in season (I used leek, carrots, celeriac, celery, Jerusalem artichokes and romanesco), small pieces of beef, veal meatballs flavoured with nutmeg, and vermicelli. Perfectly fine.

Another recipe with a pretty serious filter on the example photo. Even with Litsy‘s food filter, this soup is way more brown than gold. Maybe Australian creamed corn really is yellow enough to overcome the brownish broth you mix with brown sauce?

It‘s pretty tasty, at least. She cites it as a Chinese restaurant staple, but I‘ve never had it before or noticed it on a menu around here, and I HAUNT my top restaurant‘s menu. A regional thing, maybe?

Usually, I not a huge fan of crab. But wow this turned out beautifully! #DinnerBytheBook
