I have seriously been loving this book, but have to force myself to stop now, to give some of my other new ones a chance!

I bought Rachel Allen's book earlier this year and thought it was absolutely fantastic. I like that she carries over the Ballymaloe ethos about food but in a more practical and less preachy way than her mother-in-law Darina Allen does. Darina would have us all grow vegetables and slaughter pigs ourselves, Rachel just wants us to be aware of where our food comes from and to buy free-range/ local/ organic/ farmer's market if possible. I also like that her cooking is a fairly accurate reflection of Irish cooking now- one part traditional Irish food, some Mediterranean influences, a hit of Indian and Chinese flavours, and more American influences as well.

Andrew isn't keen on sprouts either, but will eat them occasionally, so long as there is cheese involved. I couldn't entice him to try this soup, though. Dana- Thanks, I'm really happy with them! Looking forward to meeting some new people in the new year, so I can give some away! I like the sound of your penguin- anything that encourages drinking more water is good in my book. (I try to drink a lot but it's so boooring, and not very nice in the winter.) Hil- Ha, ha. My next recipe is from her, too! :) Sarah- That whipped feta looks so good, thanks for the link!

So cute! I got lots of things from Willams-Sonoma - never a bad thing. The main gift was a "penguin" which is a device that pumps CO2 into tap water to make it sparkling. I never drink water so Randy thought this would get me to start. I really like it but not the most romantic gift. :) I love those cards! So cute!

Ant hates them, so I would end up taking this soup to work in my Thermos. I think it might be nice with <a href="http://vegetablematter.blogspot.com/2009/12/pasta-with-spiced-chickpeas-and-whipped.html" rel="nofollow">whipped feta cheese</a> that I saw on another blog today. Yum, like a new version of Broccoli and stilton. And still use the almonds, of course. Oh, I love the moo cards. Once I have a few more good food photos I am going to make some mini cards (they are about half the size of regular business cards).
