I had Bolognese sauce on the brain when I woke up this morning. We made a fantastic lasagne with it in class last week. Figured I would get a pot started late morning, maybe buy a pasta maker to fit my new mixer and try and recreate it and invite a neighbor or two over. Went to the market and that's when all hell broke loose. Spotted star anise next to the nutmeg. Pear clafouti! Oranges and fennel...do I have white wine vinegar left? Think simple: Oh yeah-broccoli soup!
This is my first menu made outside of class; I'm a bona-fide beginner. The dishes come from all over the map, but each one was a success in it's own right and I even made minor improvisations to a few:
Toasted Broccoli Soup
Pissaladiere de Nice
Pasta with Bolognese Sauce
Friend Caught Licking Plate
Lemon Orange Tart with Candied Orange Peel
Pan de Genoa with Orange and Star Anise Syrup- They asked, Is the syrup Amaretto?

It is rare indeed to find a blog that instills warmth, reflection, culinary delights, fun (and good!) photography and such an open hearted acceptance of the joys that a full life provides.
