Happy 2009! With the new year come the resolutions, and I’ve heard that many friends have resolved to cook at home more. In fact, I’ve been doing the same myself with the help of Jamie Oliver’s latest, Jamie at Home.
The Naked Chef’s latest cookbook offers over 100 recipes organized by season; he encourages us to use seasonal vegetables, fruits and game year round. Oliver also shares advice on growing produce and on responsible farming and purchasing.
I’ve been craving onion soup lately, and his recipe for English onion soup with sage and Cheddar is good for the soul. (Photo below) Mmm!
Jamie at Home is a good companion for the home cook. Now go cook up a storm!
Thank you, Hyperion Books for this week’s Baking Friday contribution!

I have been making sour dough bread at home. It takes a good part of the day but the process is interesting and I feel like I am perfecting the baking technique each time I try it. Plus, getting messy is kind of fun and the results are great on a cold day.

Ah…the perfect question for me to tell you about the chicken and dumplings I made this week for a friend’s birthday dinner. Soooooo delicious, comforting, and soul satisfying.
She requested the dish because it reminded her of her childhood. I’d never made it before so I took parts of recipes from the Williams Sonoma Slow Cooking Cookbook and from 2 food blogs, Simply Recipes and Smitten Kitchen. Now I suppose I can call it my own recipe?? The dumplings were absolutely perfect — light, fluffy, and flecked with plenty of verdant parsely.

My 10 yr old daughter and I craved a warm and silky butternut squash soup and for a special touch we crumbled some peppered bacon on top with a dollop of goat cheese and a sprinke of chives and it was fantabulous!!! mmm mmm…good!!

Chili con Carne from America’s Test Kitchen — served with warm tortillas, beans, rice, and the works (scallions, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, red onion)

Brussels sprouts, sliced in halves, first sauteed with garlic, red onion and Granny Smith apples until light brown, then in the oven in the same
Le Creuset pan for 10 minutes or so.
On its own for lunch or as a side for dinner with a vegan or healthy game partner dish, this hits the spot for me on cold winter days and evenings.

Falafel!... with cucumber dip, chick peas, onions, cumin, corriander, garlic, bread crumbs, and some other stuff. OK… actually Melissa made it, but it was really good.

Winsome – “Charming, often in a childlike or naive way”.
I would say that would be the soft boiled egg I made last Sunday placed in a red rooster egg cup with buttered toast cut into 4 “fingers” for dipping. Yummy!

dulce de leche & alfajores…it took six hours to make and half that time to happily share and devour.

The most “winsome” would have to be my new favorite dessert…one scoop of vanilla ice cream rolled in toasted coconut, with honey on top- de-lish!

Massaman chicken curry is the ultimate comfort food, such a great antidote to these cold wintry days, and talk about heavenly smells!
