WIll do my best to tackle most recipes on the list - getting started with the Parsnip and ginger soup (page 157) today and see where it leads...
ReplyDeleteWishing you all a wonderful month and Happy November cooking!
Andrea
So I made the Parsnip and ginger soup (page 157) as well as the Lentil and tomato salad (page 237) today - the soup was very "warming" with all that ginger and the spices (cardamon, cumin and cayenne pepper). And the Lentil salad was a big hit with those Honey-roasted tomatoes - even tomatoes at this time of year are suitable for that recipe.
DeleteThere will be lots of delicious food ahead this month. These are my choices:
ReplyDeleteChile, cheese and rosemary polenta with tomato sauce
Celery, orange and pecans
Parsnip and ginger soup
Hot squash foldover
Kale speltotto with goat´s cheese
Beet and walnut hummus
Roast new potatoes with two mojo sauces
Jerusalem artichoke frying pan gratin
Zosia,

Right now, I can safely say that I will be skipping the Jerusalem artichokes!
ReplyDeleteWell, thank goodness then that there is more than Jerusalem artichokes in the line-up of recipes for the lovely month of November.

Hi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to tackle the Kale Speltotto with goat cheese, Beet and walnut hummus, and the roast potatoes with 2 mojo sauces. Yum! Betsy
Delicious choices, dear Betsy!
DeleteSo good to have you participating again!
Andrea
Hi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteHere are my selections for the month:
Parsnip and ginger soup (page 157)
Roast new potatoes with two mojo sauces (page 358)
I might make the soup this weekend - it's cold and rainy and that soup sounds so warming.
Teresa, cold and rainy seems far away these days - we are having springtime weather - incredible! I do not know whether to be happy about all these warm fall days though. Seems to me that the weather is definitely changing for the warmer.
DeleteAndrea
Hi Andrea! I can't believe how far we've gotten in the book. So many delicious dishes we've made!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what all I will get up to, but for the moment, I'm thinking Parsnip and ginger soup, and Lentil and tomato salad. The new potatoes look delicious... we'll see! Sorry I'm not as decisive as I'd like. Lots up in the air. Hope you are having a wonderful fall day!
Candy, sounds good to me - thank you and enjoy!

Hi Andrea, I finally decided today (it's the 7th), that I'd better skip November. I not only am getting my condo ready so The Gant can have it for a rental for the skiing season but I also am packing for being away from Aspen for 5 1/2 months. A little overwhelming. Back next month when I get settled. Also, I'm up for a make-up week anytime.
ReplyDeleteDear Mary, noted - thank you - I am thinking about a December make-up month although we just had one. Because we all see to be rather busy the next two months - but have not decided yet.
DeleteAll the best for your 5 1/2 months move!
Andrea - keep us posted
Love the parsnip and ginger soup paired with celery, orange and walnut salad for dinner tonight!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that - we quite enjoyed this soup as well, very warming.
