Catch up time!

Some of the recipes I have recently cooked.

 

Back to the basics

Roasted potato leek soup pg 63-- This is to die for! It was the first time I have ever used creme freche. We were practically licking the bowls and fantasizing and fighting over the leftovers the next day!

Roasted tomato caprese salad pg. 90-- One of our go to favorites. The carmalized juice the tomatoes make as they are slowly roasting make for an irresistable treat and great light dinner potion.

Celery root and apple puree pg 169-- This ended up with the texture and simliar taste as butternush squash soup. We were not prepared for that with the first sip. This was not a winner for us.

 

Zuchinni Pancakes-- I loved these and have been eating the leftovers for breakfast since Brandon wasn't too excited about the idea of zuchinni in his "pancake." Maybe it's because he doesn't like pancakes or that I used all gluten free substitutions or maybe it's because he said he only likes zucchinni prepared two ways and this is not one of them :(

 

Cream of Tomato Soup-- This soup ended up alright but nothing special.

 

Home

Chicken salad Veronique pg 67-- Well I tried tarragon for the first time and will never have it again. I felt like a took a big bite of fennel wrapped in chicken when I ate this chicken salad. I'm not a fan of fennel's licorice taste, therefore not a fan of tarragon's licorice taste.....

 

 

This weekend we were hopefully throughing our first dinner party at the apartment with a seven course sit down meal that I will be serving with the help's of Ina and The Joy of Cooking.
