Congratulations Liz!
That’s one mighty fine looking chowder. Thermomix version will be coming to a kitchen near me. Soon.
Black beans, coriander, milk. Good things. Well done Liz and thanks for the wild ride PW!

Its been a while coming but here are the recipes from our recent dinner party.
chorizo in potatoes
I read about these in a Gourmet Traveller whilst sitting in a cafe in Sydney recently. I didn’t copy the recipe but it’s pretty simple so I probably did the same thing as the original recipe specified.
2 chorizo
1 large […]
Seriously, at least 4kg. I’m sure that’s the weight of the stress I was carrying in regards to finding a school for Son and Heir. I found out that he definitely has a place at a school I’m happy with. Which is not to say that is where he will go, it will depend on […]

Without a doubt it’s a winter thing. But nothing beats a good root. Vegetable. Personally, I love parsnips. So I got all excited when Brazen mentioned this parsnip soup. I got even more excited at the market today when I found a box of gorgeous little local parsnips. Here’s a hint. Don’t buy big […]

Did someone say minestrone? Actually Son and Heir has been begging me to make “pasta soup” for a couple of weeks now. This week is the week. I have no intention of us eating it until the end of the week but I like to make it when the vegetables are market fresh. Not […]

Bulk buying fresh food means lot’s of cooking when you get home. Particularly when the Bread Winner has not made lunch for the Ankle Biters and dinner also needs to be prepared.
So, today the Kitchen Playground produced leftover coriander pesto burger and cheese in sandwiches for lunch. Adzuki bean soup with cheese and thyme scones […]

Left over pho noodles. Mmm, something long soup like. Leftover wonton wrappers. Mmm, something short soup like. Or both together.
That’s pretty much how my brain works. And reckless abandon week seems to be having more than it’s fair share at the moment. Which is cool.
So, fish stock from the freezer, a couple of tablespoons of […]
This is a great way of getting lots of vegies serves into the family with minimum complaints. Good anti-cancer vegetables that practically everyone needs to eat more of too. You could leave the chicken out if you are vegetarian, I’d probably add another leek in that case.
Chicken, broccoli and cauliflower soup
1 free range or organic […]
