Triple Celery Soup / Thai Chicken Stew / Rosemary Squash Bisque



Article & Recipe: A celery-soup celebration


It’s a soup based on both the familiar green stalk celery (high on the list of underappreciated vegetables, in my view) and the knobbly white celeriac, or celery root.

Blog Post & Recipe: Thai Chicken Stew


Combine the carrots, onions, chiles, ginger, and vegetable oil in a medium bowl and microwave for approximately 10 minutes until the vegetables soften. Transfer the vegetable mixture to your slow cooker.

Now, I do precisely one thing with winter squash. Well, technically two things. I cube it, salt it, oil it, roast it. At this point, I either turn it into a soup, or I don’t. If I chose the former, it becomes Rosemary Squash Bisque, with a supporting cast of pork products, vegetable broth, rosemary, cream, and the tender ministrations of my Cuisinart.

Cook Perfect Beef Wellington / Albóndigas Soup / 8 Braises



Blog Post & Recipe: How to cook perfect beef wellington


Simon and Lindsey observe in the preface to their beef wellington recipe that "the whole point of cooking meat in pastry is to keep in the juices ... but if the pastry is good and thin, buttery and rich, nothing is nicer than a meat-soaked crust".


Blog Post & Recipe: i just flipped that


Loaded with vegetables and a good amount of spice, I couldn’t wait for it to finish cooking. The meatballs are made with beef and pork, but the book says there are some variations depending on region. You could use chicken instead of beef, and some meatballs are wrapped around a pitted green olive.

Homemade Celery Salt / Caponata, Eggplant Relish / Creamy Mushroom Soup /



Blog Post & Recipe: Homemade Celery Salt Recipe


If you make some each time you buy a bunch of celery, you end up with a bottomless jar of celery-spiked salt. And this way, minimal celery parts go to waste, except the celery strings - my suspicion is there won't be many tears shed over that.


Blog Post & Recipe: Caponata, Eggplant Relish


The only apparent constants in caponata are eggplants, onions, olive oil, vinegar, and some sort of tomato product, either tomato sauce or fresh tomatoes or both. Other common ingredients include pine nuts, raisins, capers, olives, celery, basil, bell peppers, garlic, parsley and oregano.


Blog Post & Recipe: Creamy Mushroom Soup


I fell in love with the pic of a particular brand of mushroom soup which not only looked creamy white,but had fresh parsley in it- at least the pic had. The pic urged me so strongly to buy it and taste it and lo -the soup did not have any parsley. I know ,you may think of me as a nutcase,but that actually urged me to make a soup with parsley in it.

The celery flavour is clear and fresh and there are no distractions, resulting in a wonderful creamy comforting plate of velvet risotto with a little celery crunch and pale elegant colour.

Blog Post & Recipe: Easy Braised Pumpkin


Let the pumpkin boil over high heat for about 10 minutes. Lower heat and stir occasionally for about 5 minutes. Add few dashes of white pepper. Once pumpkin is tender, it’s ready to be served.

Today almost anything can be "confited" using a variety of fats. Variations are no longer limited to midwinter meals, and the cooking process doesn't necessarily have to take all day.

3 Celery Recipes / Stewing Hen Ragu / Savoy Cabbage, Nutmeg & Chestnut Saute



Article & Recipe: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's celery recipes


Celery's special qualities come to the fore when it is teamed up with the right companions ...

Celery, orange and mackerel salad ... Waldorf soup ... Celery gratin


Article & Recipe: The stewing hen: A culinary bonus


I braised the hen with tomato, white wine, chile flakes, and herbs for about three hours, until it began to fall off the bone. I let the bird rest overnight in its stewing sauce to relax the meat.

Stewing Hen Ragu


Blog Post & Recipe: Savoy cabbage, nutmeg and chestnut saute


Savoy cabbage, sweet chestnuts and the subtle lemony warmth of nutmeg are decidedly comfort food territory. The chickpeas (garbanzo) might not be the obvious pairing with chestnuts and cabbage but add substance, nutrients and texture to your meal without competing overpowering the other flavours. We like this saute topped with a poached or fried egg to turn it into a more substantial meal
