A few days ago I decided to build up my personal anticipation for the upcoming release of True Blood Season 4 by creating some dishes in true Russell and Talbot style. Yesterday I served up a recipe for a simple, but delicious, Blood Berry Sorbet (aka Raspberry) but today we turn to immitating a course [...]

Cullen Skink Soup

Eliza — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 10:40:50 +0000

Cullen Skink is a soup which originated from a small town called Cullen in Morayshire, Scotland. I used to live maybe thirty minutes up the road from there. Made with haddock, potatoes and onions it is lovely warming soup for cold days. Rather ironically a “skink” is traditionally a soup made of shin of beef. [...]

Olla Gitana (Gypsy Soup)

Eliza — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:36:23 +0000

Olla Gitana is a typical soup of Murcia in the South East of Spain. Its combination of ingredients makes it practically a meal in its own right – and it is absolutely delicious and extremely filling. It can be served with or without the addition of pork – and although many of the more traditional [...]

When I was a child my Mum and I used to regularly go the coast for the day. Usually during winter when the seas were wild and stormy (we lived near the North Yorkshire coastline in the UK). These are ones of my most treasured memories, and as such a soup we frequently had is [...]

White Onion Soup

Mizmoe — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 09:58:07 +0000

I love white onion soup, these are the closest recipes to the soup my mother served, though her´s did not have cream, just milk and stock, I think in equal quantities and I don´t think Mum ever used mace. I think when I fancy this soup again, I will try different herbs and a little [...]

Simple Tomato & Lentil Soup

Eliza — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 16:22:06 +0000

There is nothing more comforting on a cold winters day that a steaming hot bowl of soup – especially this simple tomato and lentil soup which, I might add, I created today with no recipe in sight (owing to the fact I dont actually own a recipe for this soup but desperately wanted it!) Actually, [...]

Broccoli Soup

Eliza — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 09:46:03 +0000

In the heart of winter there is nothing more warming that a hearty soup. Other times one craves a slightly lighter soup which is packed full of vegetables and vitamins. I find this fills both needs in my book. I love its vibrant green colour which can give life to the most grey of days. [...]
