Thai Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkins and I didn’t always get along so well. There were a few years there when we flat out wanted nothing to do with eachother. Correction – I wanted nothing to do with it. I lumped it into the category with all those other confused vegetables – sweet potatoes, butternut squash etc, you know, the [...]

Right now I’m feeling pretty cranky. The kind of thing where if I was still a baby I would just cry nonstop and throw my toys on the floor. Possibly with a few bouts of stamping my feet on the ground as well. Since I’m a so called adult, I’m simply throwing an internal temper [...]

Finally, without further adieu I present to you my first Thai cooking class recipe courtesy of Silom Thai Cooking School  - a creamy hot and soup shrimp soup. We’ve spent the last 2 weeks in Thailand (I really can’t believe it’s been that long already), split between Bangkok in Phuket. In Bangkok we met up with [...]

I made this soup when I was home for my dad’s birthday, which was almost a month ago. How time flies, and I’m only getting to posting this now. There’s not much to this recipe – just a simple lentil soup. I did really enjoy it though, going for seconds and then thirds. Next time [...]

This is my new favorite mussels recipe. For a long time I was too intimidated by the mussel cleaning process to tackle making them at home, but ever since I finally dared to do it (starting with a mussels in white wine sauce) I’ve made them numerous times.  This recipe though is truly perfect. I feel that [...]

This is one of my favorite soups –  tied for first place with Split Pea Soup and New England Clam Chowder.  All completely different types and textures of soup but all so delicious. While split pea soup is my grandmother’s specialty, this soup is my mom’s. She tried something similar to this at a restaurant [...]

Another vegetarian meal option. Creamy pureed roasted vegetable soup. I had never roasted garlic before so it was finally time I venture out and try it. I’ve been reluctant before because you do have to roast it for 35-60 minutes and I could never justify heating up an entire oven for a small head of [...]

I’ve been seeing all these kale recipes lately and decided it was finally time I give it a whirl. I had never tried it before, for some reason fearing it might taste like licorice (fennel), which I loathe. Thankfully it tastes nothing like it, and is actually pretty good. My first attempt was at kale [...]

The other day I was coming home from catering and was craving soup. Asian noodle soup to be exact.  And since E (one of my catering partners) had just given me some bok choy to try, which I had never cooked with before, I figured it would make a great addition to the soup. I [...]

I love soup. To the extent that I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And that’s exactly what I decided to do this past Sunday. I had all the ingredients on hand and decided it was about time I make home made tomato soup. This soup is supposed to be pureed but I [...]
