My mom makes the *best* seafood stew. She got the recipe from an old coworker and passed it town to me a year or so ago. But I confess that I’ve never actually used that recipe. It’s a recipe that you need to really shop for (lots of ingredients that you don’t normally have on [...]

Porcini Mushroom Soup

I loooooooove mushrooms!
Growing up, I actually hated them… I think the turning point came around the time I went vegetarian back in college (I was vegetarian for about 4 or 5 years, but not anymore). Once I learned that mushrooms were a good source of protein, and super-low in fat and calories, I just started [...]

Lately in the food-blogging community, schii (Russian cabbage soup) seems like “the thing” to make. Smitten Kitchen, Sassy Radish, and Yulinka all posted some great photos. Apparently, The New York Times is what set it all off.

A few weeks ago, we had Chinese takeout at a friend’s house. I hadn’t had Chinese food in years (seriously), but for some reason, I found that I had a craving for egg drop soup.
It was very, very good!
So good that I wanted more! I really didn’t think that it would be easy to do [...]

One of my favorite blogs, Sassy Radish posted a recipe for “Spicy Tomato Soup with Cilantro Stems” on Tuesday. It was the picture that immediately caught my eye – it looked soooo yummy.
But then I read the title of the post and I was heartbroken…
There are two types of people: those who hate cilantro and [...]
