Welcome, welcome. What a gorgeous read to start my day. The sights and sounds of the market, a warming soup - a chuckle for the newly weds - and the watchword of patience before the pruning begins. So much lived wisdom. Love this.
I don't think I'll ever think about chicken broth the same after the look on your face when I said I needed to get some at the market and you politely explained to me why I didn't need it. Can't wait to try this in the kitchen!
A great post for the morning, a breath of citrus-scented air! I am in Miami now and also surrounded by citrus. I bought Meyer lemons and sour oranges this morning for no particular reason besides—inspiration. It’s sunshine at your fingertips. Merci, Madam!
Kate, you cheer me through the rigors of a February in Maine--no buds, no burgeoning, every living thing locked in ice. But spring will come, I believe, and meanwhile I relish spring in Gascony through your eyes. Thank you!
Wonderful post, Kate! You remind me to take that head of cauliflower from my frige, chop it up with those three large shallots, and simmer it into a soupy broth with a handful of cilantro, some salt and pepper, and a drizzle of honey. Once all is soft and cooked, I blend for a delicious, creamy (without any cream) potage. Delicious with or without parmesan croutons. Liked by folks who say they don't even like cauliflower!
Your words bring a smile, Kate.

I love the idea of garlic soup for your wedding night!

One of my missions in life... ;)
After reading this and looking at the beautiful illustrations, I am really hungry! Time to go and do some cooking

That's the spirit! These little soups are so easy if you don't get in your own way. I love the idea of the honey drizzle with the cauliflower!
Yes, just a slight drizzle lifts it up. Thank you, Kate, for all your wonderful inspiration.
