K is for Kitchen

We bought a refrigerator that doesn't refrigerate... So until I can cook gracefully and invite friends over to share recipes for K is for Kitchen, I will peruse food blogs and cookbooks fantasizing over meals to me made. My stomach sounds like a musical instrument when I do this activity , I'm thinking of starting a band called !!!Gastronomica!!! featuring my stomach and a harmonica , we'll categorize ourselves as Heavy Metal Skillet.

from top to bottom:

breakfast: apple puff pancake

lunch: leek, baby broccoli, goat cheese and smoked salmon tart

dinner: mushroom bourguignon

dessert: upside down pear ginger cake

K is for Kitchen

I am very smitten with Smitten Kitchen, Deb Perelman has and makes such great taste from her little kitchen in New York. The recipe index is really bringing me out of my winter cooking blues with it's inspiring and delicious recipes for root veggies, legumes and other winter fare. I have only made one squash soup this winter!! Yay!

The three dishes above have made me seem like I am a very good cook..
