It’s the end of the month, which means Celeste, Penny and I are back with another Meal to Share. As always, Meal to Share is our monthly collaboration where we each cook a course for a themed meal – so don’t forget to check out their posts for the rest of the meal. This month’s [...]

Cookbook Challenge: Week 34, Soup

Recipe: Spicy tomato soup with chorizoFrom: Soups This week’s Cookbook Challenge theme is “soup”. Last winter I made a lot of soup – pretty much every Sunday for a couple of months – see the Soup Sunday posts. This winter, I’ve barely cooked any soup, most likely because I’m busy cooking up the various themes [...]

Cookbook Challenge: Week 25, Silky

Recipe: Pumpkin soup with a twistFrom: Neil Perry’s Good Food The theme for week 25 of the Cookbook Challenge is “silky”. I had a number of things in mind for this week. I ended up doing a lot of cooking this weekend – egg fu yung, chicken stock, waffles with poached pears, ox cheek stew, [...]

Cookbook Challenge: Week 10, Cool

Recipe: Iced beetroot soupFrom: Jill Dupleix’s Lighten Up Argh! I’m late for (last week’s) Cookbook Challenge! Despite knowing what I was going to make at the beginning of the week, I’m still late with it! In my defense though, I was going to do it in the weekend but ended up spending all day Saturday [...]

Soup Sunday: Mushroom soup

I bought a soup recipe book recently, and it has given me tons of soup ideas! Most of the soups have been easy to put together, and this mushroom soup was no exception. This soup relies heavily on the mushrooms for flavour – there’s not much else in it! I used big flat brown mushrooms, [...]

Soup Sunday: Spicy lentil, potato and spinach

Gak! I’m being slack with posting Soup Sundays. After this one I still have two to post – plus I’m sure I’ll have a new one this Sunday. Better get on to it! This soup was made on one of those freezing cold evenings we’ve been having lately. I say this every year around this [...]

Soup Sunday: Beef and black bean chili

So this is technically not a soup – it’s a stew – but I figured that soup and stew are so similar that it could still count for Soup Sunday. I was actually looking to buy puy lentils when I came across dried black beans. They don’t seem to be very common here (I could [...]

Soup Sunday: Celeriac, cauliflower and leek

The soup this week was really thanks to the efforts of my Bro. I did the directing, while he did all the grunt work. Naturally I took the glory! It’s a pretty good way to cook – I highly recommend it. I picked up a massive celeriac at the market, and the only way I [...]

Soup Sunday: French onion soup

Welcome to the Super Duper Long Weekend Edition of Soup Sunday! Since we had a long weekend, I decided to do a soup that was a bit more special than my “dump stuff in a pot” usuals. I started by making beef stock the day before, roasting bones and vegetables before letting them simmer together [...]

Soup Sunday: Curried pumpkin and kumara soup + onion focaccia

Gosh, I’m running a bit late with the Soup Sunday post – it’s almost Sunday again! (And I have a super duper long weekend edition planned. Oh my!). The soup for this Sunday helped me use up bits and pieces – one of the reasons I love making soup! I had a few kumara (sweet [...]
