Three-cheese terrine

three-cheese-terrine

As I have told you all ad nauseam, I spent my Christmas skiing in Andorra. No, I haven’t blogged it yet, nor have I blogged my first trip in March last year, which generally isn’t a big issue (because I have sworn off blog guilt his year!!).  But is it a bit of a pain […]

Salmon tournedos on spiced lentils

I have written previously about the Cookbook Cooking Club, our inspired idea to keep Johanna “in the loop” while she was home and looking after baby Henrik way back in the spring.  I even posted a Flickr album of photos of the day.  And yet somehow I never actually blogged it.  But in the spirit […]

Jerusalem artichoke and potato gratin

Jerusalem artichoke & potato gratin

I may have mentioned previously, when I made a fantastic rustic creamy Jerusalem artichoke soup., about my deep affection for Jerusalem artichokes (also known as sunchokes or topinambours. In fact, pretty much the only thing to my mind that compensates me for the seasonal disappearance of broad beans is the appearance of Jerusalem artichokes! Last […]

Merry Christmas, everyone! May you have a day filled with laughter and love, surrounded by all those you love the most, enjoying good food, wine and company. As for me, I am taking a short break in Andorra – skiing again (clearly the bug has bitten) – and will probably be up a mountain, sick […]
