 I had grand intentions for my January first. There would be a fire in the fireplace, a copy of the Sunday NYT to peruse. I would make pho, slowly, cooking in the way that I used to cook when it was just for me, totally private and selfish and gratifying and calm. There would be... Ashley - January 7, 2013 - 3:06 pm
I just love that first photo with the drizzle of hot sauce. Somehow, I’ve never had pho. That needs to change. Gorgeous photos + recipe! Winnie - January 7, 2013 - 3:35 pm
This is so gorgeous… I can’t wait to try your version! Happy New Year :) Angela @ the fairy bread chronicles - January 7, 2013 - 4:20 pm
i recently went to vietnam and had pho almost every day! it is easily one of my favourite foods now, so wholesome and simple. thank you for posting this recipe, now i can have a taste of my memories whenever i want! Julie - January 7, 2013 - 4:38 pm
Though I love the quiet of January, this month seems to be anything but this year! Perhaps I’ll have to curl up with some soup and try to find some quiet. thecitygourmand - January 7, 2013 - 5:43 pm
Love the garnish of fresh herbs. Makes all the difference! That and a squeeze of lemon ;) ileana - January 7, 2013 - 6:20 pm
This looks wonderful. Happy new year, Kimberley! Elizabeth - January 7, 2013 - 7:32 pm
It’s perfect. I’d like to make this my winter of pho. And, yes (!), I’m so loving the calm quiet of January. Wishing you a wonderful, happy new year! Kankana - January 7, 2013 - 10:09 pm
Nothing is more comforting this season than a bowl of hot soup! Kay - January 7, 2013 - 11:40 pm
Yes, challenge and reward do seem to go hand in hand. I try to remind myself of that whenever life seems overwhelming. Also, I can’t get enough of broth-y soups these days, so thank you for the new recipe! Valeria - January 8, 2013 - 12:37 am
Pho is the first asian-style noodle soup i’ve ever tried, and still my favorite. i am so in love with it that the idea of making it at home is somehow intimidating –what if i screw it up, what if it tastes boring? And yet, this recipe, simple and flavorsome, gives me hope. It really looks like the perfect winter dish. x Kathryn - January 8, 2013 - 1:20 am
I love how you manage to find beauty in such humble ingredients, everything about this is just wonderful. Happy new year Kimberley :) erin @ yummy supper - January 8, 2013 - 9:18 am
Kimberley, Happy New Year to you! I hope your crazy December wasn’t too tough on you. Your gorgeous pho looks like just the kind of cozy bowl I want to dig into this time of year and would be the perfect tonic after holiday busyness. SG - January 8, 2013 - 9:44 am
Happy New Year! I cannot wait to make this! Liz - January 8, 2013 - 10:18 am
I’m on the train to Maine, listening to Mazzy Star while reading this article and passing by snowy fields and frozen ponds. Thank you for writing exactly what I was ready to read. Liz Eileen - January 8, 2013 - 10:26 am
This pho is so beautiful, and looks exactly right for clean, hot midwinter dinners. It makes me think I need to restock my spice cabinet and give it a shot ASAP. :) Bernadette @ Now Stir It Up - January 8, 2013 - 8:45 pm
YUM! I love pho and finding a recipe that DOESN’T take all day to make is awesome. Thanks for sharing! Megan Gordon - January 8, 2013 - 9:15 pm
Happy New Year, Kimberly. This is YOUR year. And man, do I wish I’d seen this post before I started on dinner tonight (we just had cheesy /carby pasta – save us!) . la domestique - January 8, 2013 - 9:21 pm
It’s funny, right after Christmas I had an irresistible craving for pho, which I satisfied with a huge bowl and plenty of sriracha to clean out my sinuses. I look forward to trying your recipe. Gemma @andgeesaid - January 9, 2013 - 7:10 pm
This looks amazing, and I love how it doesn’t take ages to make. Beautiful photos! sara - January 18, 2013 - 5:46 pm
this sounds so perfect. I agree, one doesn’t come with the other. I’ve been thinking of you and hoping the manuscript is coming along quite well. It’s an emotional ride isn’t it? Please give me a holler if there is anything I can do besides think good things for you. Happy belated new year, friend. Emma - January 19, 2013 - 3:20 am
Wow! I have just discovered your blog. Your photos are beautiful. I love the title A kind of hush. I too enjoy the quietness of January after the madness that is Christmas. I will be trying out this dish very soon. Erica Julson - January 19, 2013 - 2:41 pm
mmm pho is my favorite! Love your addition of all those greens. Congratulations on having such an exciting and productive year. Just remember to schedule in some relaxing breaks for yourself as well! Wayne - January 22, 2013 - 12:41 am
“I love the quiet of January. It’s a month made for celebrating the quiet things: snow, grey skies, root vegetables, long-cooked soups and braises and roasted things.” – I don’t think I could have captured the mood of January any better. (I’ve even saved it in my Quotesome collection :) – http://www.quoteso.me/quotes/224834) It’s cold out but I think I’ll venture out in search of a nice bowl of pho for dinner tonight :D Jenn - January 24, 2013 - 6:32 am
hi, Kimberley - January 24, 2013 - 10:55 am
Jenn, Of course you could try. But not knowing how much broth would be absorbed by the noodles, it’s hard to predict how it will affect the outcome of the soup. I did that once, and learned the hard way – there was no broth left after the pasta was cooked. So I can’t really recommend that. You’re free to experiment all you like; just don’t hold me responsible for the results. :) Katie - February 6, 2013 - 9:43 pm
Do you ever make this with rice noodles instead of the brown rice spaghetti? Would you need to soak the rice noodles before adding them to the broth? Michael Brooks Jr. - February 10, 2013 - 8:59 am
I made this last night and couldn’t of been happier. What a great recipe! Have you made anything else like this? Thank you for the inspiration. taue - February 12, 2013 - 3:54 pm
WOW! This broth is amazing. The combination of anise, coriander, garlic, and ginger was incredible. I made all kinds of substitutions based on the veggies I had on hand (including delicious mizuna greens), but the broth stole the show. It’s the kind of broth one would make a huge batch of and then freeze to have on hard for delicious and effortless week night soup bases… Or reconstituting dried mushrooms? (Also, it seems like a great clean-out-the-fridge dumping ground for various veggies and proteins that need to get used up!) Thank you for this post! This will be an instant go-to in my repertoire. Ileana - February 16, 2013 - 5:37 am
Beautiful writing and photographs as well as a very interesting recipe that I will try. Gourmet Creations - February 28, 2013 - 7:11 am
I love this healthy soup! Gourmet Creations - March 24, 2013 - 4:34 pm

I’m a big fan of smoked paprika and “winning” anything associated with good food preparation! Thanks for the opportunity. sara - November 28, 2012 - 6:13 pm
What an awesome giveaway…you rock! That cookbook looks awesome. And the broccolini looks fabulous…I can’t get my boyfriend to eat broccoli, but he’s sort of on the fence on broccolini…I am definitely trying this, I bet it will make him a convert! BA - November 28, 2012 - 6:38 pm
I would love to win that cookbook… and eat that broccolini! It looks wonderful. mary - November 28, 2012 - 6:48 pm
Your photos are stunning! Inspired. Meagan - November 28, 2012 - 7:14 pm
I love this post (and your blog)! But, the advice was so so needed now that I’m in the throes of finals. Thank you! and thanks for the giveaway! Brianne - November 28, 2012 - 7:15 pm
Broccolini and smoked paprika are both used rather frequently in my house; how have I never thought to combine the two?! Enjoy your December. You deserve it! Leslie - November 28, 2012 - 7:23 pm
Love your site and of course is broccolini the best veggie arielleclementine - November 28, 2012 - 7:37 pm
i am all aglow that you chose to feature my recipe! i love your blog, and love the broccolini adaptation! thank you :) dana@minimalistbaker - November 28, 2012 - 7:46 pm
Would love to win this cookbook! Just discovered Food 52 last week and am already in love. Thanks for offering to “treat” us with this lovely giveaway : ) Dragonfly Woman - November 28, 2012 - 7:57 pm
The broccolini recipe sounds delicious! I’m definitely going to have to try that one. Katie - November 28, 2012 - 8:11 pm
Just had to say that I love the shot of those gorgeous trees! It’s inspiring. Can’t wait until we have something that beautiful to look at around here! Rachel - November 28, 2012 - 8:47 pm
Just did this recipe tonight! So yummy! thanks for sharing :) and for giving a giveaway! How cool! :) nicole i - November 28, 2012 - 8:56 pm
this recipe looks divine. happy december and all it’s goodness to you. Emily - November 28, 2012 - 9:07 pm
I love your winter wisdom! I’d love to win the cookbook, also looking forward to yours! Lynn - November 28, 2012 - 9:20 pm
This looks like a simple, delicious recipe. I think that vinaigrette would also be very good with roasted brussels sprouts, which I already have on hand, along with some marcona almonds … wendy - November 28, 2012 - 10:01 pm
I love your work and your spirit! It was so fun to meet you at Eat Retreat! Kathryne - November 28, 2012 - 10:14 pm
This recipe is so perfect for right now, while we’re in between holidays. I’m glad you’re treating yourself to wholesome midweek dinners and all of that. Stay sane, the new year is just on the other side. Kay - November 28, 2012 - 11:23 pm
We should always take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others, and I agree that the little things add up to a whole big thing when done consistently. Leslie - November 29, 2012 - 1:59 am
Looks delicious. Just got some CSA broccolini so plan on making this Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar - November 29, 2012 - 4:53 am
What a fabulous way to make broccoli! Yum! Brian @ A Thought For Food - November 29, 2012 - 5:26 am
This is why I love you… you know how to make the most of life… despite how stressful it all can be. Thanks for the reminder that we need to do things for ourselves every once in a while… even something as small as listening to our favorite album (which I’m totally going to do today). What a glorious giveaway… and, amazingly, I don’t have this book. I know it has to be a wonderful book though. Fingers crossed! Kate Harris - November 29, 2012 - 5:29 am
Your posts are always inspiring! And the cookbook looks lovely! Kristin Kraabl - November 29, 2012 - 5:45 am
I so love your pictures and I have a mini love affair with brocoini. Yum! December or any month with snow is my favorite however we have no snow in Minnesota (boo). Emily K. - November 29, 2012 - 5:45 am
Broccolini is the vegetable that changed my boyfriend’s perspective on vegetables! I owe it my sanity! Donna - November 29, 2012 - 5:54 am
This sounds yummy – I’ve got some broccolini in the fridge right now, must try it! And I’d love to win a copy of the book. Abby@ The Frosted Vegan - November 29, 2012 - 5:59 am
What a lovely way to make broccolini so much more tasty! Heather - November 29, 2012 - 6:07 am
Is that an antique lantern? Love the shape. Tricia - November 29, 2012 - 6:08 am
Simple and delicious – my kind of recipe. “I say hoard those things. Be selfish about them. It makes us less selfish elsewhere in our lives.” I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for that inspiration this morning :) Niki Arden - November 29, 2012 - 6:09 am
This looks so yummy, I never know what to do with broccolini, I can’t wait to try it out. LJ Stubbs - November 29, 2012 - 6:30 am
Roasted vegetables are one of my favourite things to eat. Ashley - November 29, 2012 - 6:38 am
Great side dish! I’ll try it for sure :) Could also be delicious with rapini, my fav. Beautiful blog, I enjoy every single post. Happy Birthday, and Happy New Year!! Douglas Lee - November 29, 2012 - 6:38 am
Hopefully I’ll find some broccolini at the market tomorrow; if so, I’ll be trying this! Christina - November 29, 2012 - 6:45 am
This recipe looks delicious! I’ve been craving crunchy greens lately – this is perfect! Christina - November 29, 2012 - 6:55 am
Happy Happy Birthday! I hope your birthday and christmas and new year’s are full of love and family! :O) Recipe looks great. I am currently working on a cookbook with my daycare kids for their parents for christmas. Fun and crazy times cooking with kids. I would love to win the cook book! Laurie - November 29, 2012 - 7:04 am
I never seem to have enough smoked paprika in the house. This sounds delicious. Thank you! Sarah - November 29, 2012 - 7:23 am
I can never find Broccolini at my grocery store but I think I will try this with broccoli instead. Rebecca - November 29, 2012 - 7:34 am
Great giveaway and great sentiment- support the treat wholeheartedly Molly - November 29, 2012 - 7:36 am
A lovely recipe and a lovely reminder to do what makes us happy, be it yoga, a walk in the park, or a relaxing dinner with loved ones. Julia Atwood - November 29, 2012 - 7:42 am
Yummy…a new way to enjoy one of my favorites! I can hardly wait to try it. Just HOW do you come up with these ideas?!! Mary Ann - November 29, 2012 - 7:46 am
Broccolini and smoked paprika, what a great combo. My coop often teases me because I am always reordering smoked paprika! I use it in most everything I cook. That is not an exaggeration! Heidi Hess - November 29, 2012 - 7:51 am
I appreciate the reminder. This is the time of year to be thankful for all we have and to remember there are some who are not so fortunate. Jennifer - November 29, 2012 - 8:09 am
Ahhh this looks amazing! I invited friends over for dinner this weekend and this will be a perfect side. Thanks for the awesome recipe (and holla to another Sagittarius!) Vee - November 29, 2012 - 8:15 am
yummy! Theresa Mundy - November 29, 2012 - 8:26 am
Would love a new cookbook. Kate - November 29, 2012 - 8:42 am
I must admit that my cooking experience has pretty much been in the “How much salt? How much pepper?” category but I’m trying to learn. If winning the new cookbook is based on “need”, I’m a winner ’cause I need to know more about cooking. :-) I don’t even know what “smoked paprika” is but I’m going to hunt it down and capture some because this looks just lovely. Gilda - November 29, 2012 - 8:44 am
These photos are so beautiful, Kimberly. Particularly that second one. I love that lighting. I also love broccolini so thanks for this recipe! Kira - November 29, 2012 - 8:50 am
Smoked paprika is a thing of beauty. Happy almost birthday and thank you for all of the incredible recipes. Kristine - November 29, 2012 - 9:01 am
I have been following your blog for a while now and am totally impressed. It is always a joy to look through and I am really looking forward to your cookbook. There is just something great about a book you can hold in your hand versus photos on a screen, even if they are beautiful. Bayle - November 29, 2012 - 9:01 am
Yum, smoked paprika. Happy almost Birthday and cheers to all the goodness that December holds. Thanks for the reminder to indulge in great things. Lara Rachowicz - November 29, 2012 - 9:06 am
I love everything a bit more with smoked paprika. I love it on eggs for breakfast! Thanks for the recipe. Kendall - November 29, 2012 - 9:13 am
I really love that second photo. How did you capture it? Jenn - November 29, 2012 - 9:42 am
Looking forward to trying this out – it sounds delicious! NicoleD - November 29, 2012 - 9:47 am
Lovely post, Kimberley. I hope you have many beautiful moments in between the busy times. Happy Birthday to you! Sarah - November 29, 2012 - 10:09 am
The broccolini looks delicious and the giveaway sounds divine! Patti - November 29, 2012 - 10:14 am
The pictures are beautiful and the recipe looks good. And healthy! Christine - November 29, 2012 - 10:19 am
Kimberley, your work is spectacular as always. I have a backlog of “Kimberley recipes to try,” which I’m hoping to attack over the holidays! Elin - November 29, 2012 - 10:26 am
That vinaigrette sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try it out! jacquie - November 29, 2012 - 10:29 am
i have to admit i find the whole holiday season to be tremendously lacking – too much emphasis on consume, consume, and consume some more and totally missing the real point of the season. but that is just my opinion. i do whole heartedly agree with you on the need to nuture ourselves though but let’s make it all and not just one season. Ok? Taye - November 29, 2012 - 10:58 am
Mmm broccolini is my favourite! Would love to try that cookbook as well! kate - November 29, 2012 - 11:00 am
Yum. Love the idea of any vegetable roasted. Will try the smoked paprika-have been using harissa a lot when I roast veggies. So good! Kristen - November 29, 2012 - 11:01 am
This looks fantastic. What would you recommend serving it with? MaryB - November 29, 2012 - 11:03 am
The recipe sounds absolutely delicious. Thanks for offering the giveaway and chance to win a lovely book. e.s. - November 29, 2012 - 11:09 am
Love your blog,and would love the cookbook! Courtney - November 29, 2012 - 11:12 am
I always tend to let stress overwhelm me, particularly at this time of year. I’ve been trying to indulge in little things lately, too. This broccolini recipe looks like the perfect opportunity for that :) Samantha - November 29, 2012 - 11:17 am
I love your blog. I have been reading it for awhile, but this is my first time posting. I loved the idea of treating yourself to the small things in life. Awesome recipe. Sasha - November 29, 2012 - 11:20 am
I absolutely agree that we need to be selfish about little pleasures so that we can be selfless in other parts of our lives – such wise words. Happy holidays Kimberely! Your recipes always spark my appetite. Now I’ll just have to hunt down some broccolini. SG - November 29, 2012 - 11:24 am
Happy Birthday fellow Sag. Big hugs, SG Bethany Kocher - November 29, 2012 - 11:29 am
I love broccolini… roasted veggies are the best with smoked salt. Stephanie - November 29, 2012 - 12:11 pm
I swear, I was going to post a comment even before I read about the giveaway. In fact, if I win, you can choose someone else. I loved everything about this post: the inspiration/reflection, photos, and delicious recipe! kelly - November 29, 2012 - 12:16 pm
This is just what I’m craving right now:) Haley - November 29, 2012 - 12:36 pm
I had been dreaming about broccolini and trying to figure out what to make, this looks perfect! Joanne Charron - November 29, 2012 - 12:49 pm
I always have broccoli I and smoked paprika on hand, but have never thought to combine the two. I look forward to enjoying this with Pacific wild salmon this evening.q alain - November 29, 2012 - 1:17 pm
I go wild for marcona almonds. Trader Joe’s has a rosemary marcona almond that I think would be so delish in this dish. linda - November 29, 2012 - 1:29 pm
Love your recipes and photos! Can’t wait to try this recipe too! Sherry Mack - November 29, 2012 - 1:57 pm
I love your thoughts on treating oneself……so important in life! And I was struck by the synchronicity of your post….my birthday is Dec. 1 too, I like the way you linked with the New Year! Thanks for the blog….. Katy Penrod - November 29, 2012 - 2:12 pm
I love that site, winning the cookbook would be awesome! ileana - November 29, 2012 - 2:27 pm
I love the idea of a smoked paprika vinaigrette! A friend brought us a tin of pimenton from her trip to Spain, and I will definitely have to use some for this recipe. Thanks! I also love the occasional little indulgence… fresh flowers, ice cream before dinner, a few new magazines. I often remind my mom that you’re not offering your friends and family the best version of yourself unless you take care of you, too. Anyway, enjoy the heck out of your favorite month! Kathryn - November 29, 2012 - 2:58 pm
I love your recipes and your blog, and I really love broccolini!! Looking forward to making this. Mary Frances Ellis - November 29, 2012 - 3:33 pm

Yes, deep breath! And even though Dec is very quiet month for me and my family I still feel the frenzy and stress all around us. I sometimes secretly wish we had a bit of that craziness, and of course a touch of that lovely snow you have on your photograph. We don’t get much winter here. I promised myself one of these days I will take my daughter to a huge Christmas celebration with beautiful winter wonderland outside. So enjoy your favorite month and all the best to you, Kimberley. Anna Goodling - December 1, 2012 - 5:27 am
My favorite veggie is any one that is roasted! Would love to give your cookbook to my Mom – it would totally make her day! Love your blog. Thanks for a wonderful year! Amy - December 1, 2012 - 8:04 am

December is a fabulous month! And I’m excited to see what other projects you’ve been working on. A book is big enough, to try to tackle other projects at the same time.. that’s impressive. Beth Jankauskis - December 2, 2012 - 7:35 am

December is the month where everybody could do with a bit of indulgence; nothing too fancy required – just a little ‘thank you’ to the self for surviving another year. Loving the thought of simple cooking and chocolate for that role~ Laurie Jesch-Kulseth - December 2, 2012 - 8:00 pm

 I have a thing for this time of year – starting this week and sweeping all the way through to the end of December. All of its sparkly, wondrous, glittering, cozy magic.

I love having these around in December, but have never added the cardamom. Quick question, does it go in the simple syrup or with the outer sugar layer? (I may have just missed it – if so, apologies!) Lizzy (Good Things) - November 20, 2012 - 11:30 am
Sounds delicious, and sooooooo festive! Brian @ A Thought For Food - November 20, 2012 - 11:39 am
These look so good! I’m the same way… For a number of reasons, I get stressed out this time of year. But it’s not going to happen to us… we’re going to beat it. NicoleD - November 20, 2012 - 11:51 am
I’ve always wanted to make these! Yours are so pretty! Kathryn - November 20, 2012 - 12:57 pm
This post has given me that first little frisson of excitement about the upcoming holiday season. I love anything sparkly and glittery and these are absolutely no exception to that rule. Serenity @ SoulWithStyle - November 20, 2012 - 8:34 pm

I can’t describe what these do to my eyeballs! Stunning. Ashley - November 21, 2012 - 6:46 am
These are gorgeous! I’ve never had sparkling cranberries before but have half a bag left in the fridge and may need to give them a try. I kind of wish I could string them up and hang them around our house. So cute! ;) la domestique - November 21, 2012 - 8:39 am
This is a fantastic idea- so festive! It’s my favorite time of year too. kickpleat - November 21, 2012 - 10:15 am
I’ve always been so curious about these sugared cranberries after I spotted the recipe on a food blog nearly 10 years ago. How do they keep? Do you store them in the fridge? How long do they last? Your photos look gorgeous and they indeed do sparkle! Happy holidays, lady! Lynda - November 21, 2012 - 3:55 pm
I have imagined something like this, and now here you’ve realized it beautifully. I will be making this for sure this season. Happy Thanksgiving, Kimberley! Christian Rene Friborg - November 21, 2012 - 10:51 pm

This looks soo yummy! I’m glad to have found your blog through etsy. I am going to create these small tasty wonders. Thank you! ~Cynthia Kasey - November 23, 2012 - 10:20 pm
These are so beautiful, Kimberley! They perfectly capture what I love about this season. I know what you mean about trying to not let the stress of the season get to you, and just revel in the magic all around. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and hope to see you soon!

Oh, I feel the same way about this season!! I’m so glad you do, too, all things considered.

 What is it about pumpkins? They seem to possess this magical power over a certain cross-section of the population, reducing us to high-pitched cooing and uninhibited enthusiasm. I am all for enthusiasm. But can you think of any other fruit or vegetable that does this to us? I can’t.

It’s funny – pumpkin really isn’t much of a thing over here but I love seeing how excited some people get about pumpkin season. This has such delicious flavours (and the pictures are so stunning) that it might even convince me to think of pumpkins as something other than a halloween decoration! Joy - October 17, 2012 - 12:01 pm
So good! I love pumpkin everything so I can’t wait to try this. sarah - October 17, 2012 - 12:10 pm

Dairy doesn’t agree with me, so this sounds perfect. I really need to get an ice cream maker. Lovely photos! alison - October 17, 2012 - 1:23 pm
Beautiful images. This is just perfect for fall. Well, as far as I’m concerned, just about anything with pumpkin and cinnamon is perfection. This looks delicious. Katherine Sacks - October 17, 2012 - 1:41 pm
I’ve been dreaming of ways to use pumpkin this season, and will gladly add this to my list. Beautiful photos as always! Kristin - October 17, 2012 - 2:07 pm

It’s true, I’ll go crazy for anything pumpkin during autumn, and your ice cream recipe here. For not having any dairy, it sure looks rich! kickpleat - October 17, 2012 - 2:50 pm
I’ve been thinking of making pumpkin yogurt but I like your idea better! Your frosty photos look luscious. Elizabeth - October 17, 2012 - 6:41 pm
Such breathtaking images! I adore coconut milk sorbet, and can imagine that it pairs wonderfully with pumpkin. jacquie - October 17, 2012 - 6:56 pm
i have been thinking about pumpkin yogurt as well – do you think yogurt could be substitued for the coconut milk? i’m not familar w/ that so i have no idea what the consistancy is. thanks Ashley - October 18, 2012 - 6:46 am
Fantastic lighting and colors! Pumpkin and coconut are such a winning combo. Courtney - October 18, 2012 - 7:43 am
I am definitely part of the pumpkin loving crowd so this is right up my alley! So awesome that it’s dairy-free, too! Sasha - October 18, 2012 - 2:06 pm
This comment is certainly going to contribute to the general enthusiasm over pumpkins. I love pumpkin ice cream. And pumpkin ice cream made with coconut milk? Yes, yes, and yes. I’m not going to forget about this recipe easily. I have no other choice but to make it this week. Happy autumn! Annaliese DeNooyer - October 18, 2012 - 3:55 pm
Okay – I had the SAME issue with the pumpkin coconut ice cream I made a few weeks ago. What I ended up doing, that partially resolved the issue, was to freeze for a few hours, whirl it in the food processor, and add additional coconut milk (only the thickest part) at this stage. Once I refroze the concoction, it had a lot more ice-cream qualities, without the negative dairy side-effects. I’m going to keep playing with the recipe and will keep you posted! Hannah - October 18, 2012 - 8:39 pm
Love that deep orange color Kimberley. I’ve been impressed with coconut-milk based frozen treats this summer … I guess now I have an excuse to keep it going all fall ;) Karen - October 19, 2012 - 3:26 pm
any suggestions to sub out the brown sugar? I’m only using maple syrup or honey at the moment; trying to stay away from processed sugars. Sounds yummy – will likely freeze into cubes and then process in my vitamix. HungryHuy - October 21, 2012 - 2:34 am
This sounds like a great way to use pumpkin this season! So this is not something you can really save for even past a day though because of how hard it will freeze? Maybe there’s a way to remove some water while retaining (most of) the flavor. Ashley - October 23, 2012 - 1:33 pm
Would you believe I have yet to play with pumpkin in the kitchen this year?! It’s just wrong. But I will quickly make it right. You and this ice cream have reminded that it is high time to put some pumpkin on the table. mommalovescookin - October 23, 2012 - 1:48 pm
Ok, ready, set, go! I actually have EVERYTHING on hand to make this. So… tomorrow we will be having this sweet treat! Mmmmmmm BTW I am totally a pumpmin swooner ;-) Fork and Whisk - October 23, 2012 - 8:52 pm

Wow, this looks so delicious! I love the combination of pumpkin and coconut. Rachel - November 4, 2012 - 6:38 am
This recipe was delicious! I ended up substituting the spices for 1 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice. Also, adding 1-2 Tbl of vodka (or other liquor) will prevent the ice cream from getting too hard in the freezer. Take care to not use too much though since it can prevent freezing all together!

This is my type of salad- I love that it has roasted potatoes and squash! I’d also not heard of dry farming before (because in the midwest, it’s rain or they water everything). How interesting (and really neat)! Laura {gourmettenyc} - October 11, 2012 - 11:37 am

Why does it not surprise me in the least that you’ve adapted it here! :) Congratulations, again, Kimberley! So excited for you! Stacy - October 11, 2012 - 11:53 am
I made a similar salad this week (roasted delicata, potatoes and tofu; kale; thai curry dressing), but frankly, yours looks even better! The pomegranate seeds and feta won me over at first glance. And: that farm tour looks like such fun! sara - October 11, 2012 - 12:47 pm

we tried this recipe tonight, just twisting it a bit –we roasted the squash with some cornmeal crust and some sage, and we used olives instead of pomegranate, but man, it really hit the spot. Gonna try the more authentic one soon. Thanks for sharing. Monique - January 22, 2013 - 6:11 am
I made this to take to our neighbor’s 2012 Thanksgiving Dinner.
