Curried Butternut Soup / Turkey Chili / Prawn Phở



Blog Post & Recipe: Curried Butternut Soup


Every October I make batches of this gorgeous and golden soul warming soup. The secret is- use ripe flavorful squash. Choose a squash with firm golden-tan skin. The squash should make a hollow ring when thumped.


Blog Post: Move on by, purists: Turkey chili satisfies


Purists would argue that using turkey in chili is heresy. They'd also rally against beans. Real chili is about beef, they say, and lots of it. But we want a packed-with-flavor meal that doesn't pack our arteries, thank you very much. If that means straying from tradition, so be it.


Blog Post: Bazille's Prawn Phở


Phở is a beef and rice noodle soup from North Vietnam. ... The soup is customised by the customer with a variety of garnishes and in Vietnam a species of peanut worm, sá sùng, is added to sweeten the broth as well as a pheromone extract from the giant water bug to lend a spicy note. Phonetically the word Phở is thought to have originated from the French word feu meaning fire.
