 Originally, I had a grand vision of waxing poetic about finding the magic in winter, once the holidays are over and there is the long sludge of February and March to get through. I’ll save that armchair wisdom for a rainy day, because there really is no winter to speak of, not here anyway, and... paisley - February 6, 2012 - 12:04 pm
curry link is broken :( Kimberley - February 6, 2012 - 12:07 pm
Thanks for the heads’ up! All fixed. Maria - February 6, 2012 - 12:11 pm
Thanks for links! I’m visiting for the first time and I’m loving the recipes. Especially the pulled meat. Looks delicious! ileana - February 6, 2012 - 12:28 pm
That curry looks great. And I love that last picture! Not much of a winter here in Tampa either… 82 degrees! sara - February 6, 2012 - 12:49 pm
holy gorgeousness! Kasey - February 6, 2012 - 12:49 pm
I am not complaining about the lack of winter this winter; it’s positively feeling like Spring! That said, I’m still happy to be cooking warm, cozy meals packed with root vegetables. That molten chocolate cake looks to die for. Anytime I spot pistachios over chocolate, I am smitten. kickpleat - February 6, 2012 - 1:34 pm
I love how I came from Tim’s site to yours and it looks like you’ve both got the same dishtowel, blue stripes and all! The green curry looks delicious and it’s one curry I’ve never tried to make at home. Looks like I should just give it a try! leela - February 6, 2012 - 4:34 pm
looking good sister! Anna @ the shady pine - February 6, 2012 - 5:37 pm
Gorgeous photos that draw me in! Very lucky about it not being too wintery at the moment. Joy - February 6, 2012 - 10:07 pm
everything looks amazing. bet it all tastes so fantastic. strawberriesandpepper - February 7, 2012 - 5:17 am
You spoiled us this week with so many recipes! I definitely want to try that green curry. It looks amazing! Dramatic Pancake - February 7, 2012 - 8:46 am
Everything looks amazing! It’s definitely been a pretty mild winter, even in Chicago, but today is cold and gray and I am seriously craving that curry! SG - February 7, 2012 - 10:43 am
Always so amazing. Your images are always so gorgeous! Jacqui - February 7, 2012 - 1:26 pm
What is it about chili and being out in the woods? They’re so perfect together! And molten chocolate cake… one of my absolute favorites! Lynda - February 7, 2012 - 1:27 pm
Now I am convinced I must get a pressure cooker. And make that molten cake – what a beauty. Margarita - February 7, 2012 - 4:35 pm
Can’t wait to try the green curry! Kelsey - February 7, 2012 - 9:28 pm
beautiful collection here. i haven’t used a pressure cooker before, sounds like a magic worker. Kat - February 8, 2012 - 8:01 am
Would it change the recipe a lot if I used red curry paste instead of green? PS I made saag paneer once for a friend and got cocky and used TABLESPOONS instead of teaspoons for all the spices-both of our mouths were on fire! Kimberley - February 8, 2012 - 9:53 am
Kat, great question! Truth is, I have no idea! I’m going to do a little research on red curry. But I would guess that it’d be fine. NicoleD - February 8, 2012 - 11:27 am
A beautiful collection of cozy food! I actually received a pressure cooker as a wedding gift and had no idea how to use it. My current self would be more adventurous and try it out! la domestique - February 8, 2012 - 2:27 pm
Beautiful images, Kimberley! I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a pressure cooker for a while, and this might just push me over the edge. I live at altitude and no matter what I do, I cannot seem to cook dried beans properly. I’m thinking a pressure cooker might help, and I can add delicious falling apart meat dishes to the list of things to do with my new pressure cooker.

 It’s that time of year again, isn’t it? I’m referring not to holidays but to the annual wave of colds and flus making the rounds. The weather turns and folks are down for the count. I’ve got a weapon against this – it’s called soup. If you load a soup with fortifying vegetables such as... by Kimberley show hide 17 comments sara - November 10, 2011 - 6:42 pm
yumness. I feel like I’ve been on the verge of sickness for about a week. FIghting it with will. I think vegetable soup will be my back up. Beautiful grater by the way :) Kate - November 10, 2011 - 8:00 pm
I’ve already survived my first cold of the season. I wish I’d had some of this soup back then! Kale and potatoes look like they’d be great together. la domestique - November 10, 2011 - 8:47 pm
How appropriate- the husband and I are sitting on the couch sipping on cups of ginger tea right now trying to stave off tickly throats that might be the sign of a cold. Your soup looks delicious and comforting, I’m sure it would be very effective in promoting good health. Tine - November 11, 2011 - 12:46 am
I want a bowl please! Perfect for this weather! Brian @ A Thought For Food - November 11, 2011 - 7:27 am
I love cuddling up under a blanket on the couch with a mug of soup. Putting this one on my list. Kat - November 11, 2011 - 8:09 am
So nice to see someone actively fighting the blandness that usually overpowers vegetable soups! Laken - November 11, 2011 - 6:16 pm
I’m bookmarking this, I’ve been looking for a good vegetable soup recipe :) renee@sweetsugarbean - November 11, 2011 - 8:19 pm
Lord knows I love me some soup – gonna give this one a try for sure! My immune system will no doubt be grateful! Stacy Marie - November 12, 2011 - 6:42 am
this looks delicious. starting approximately now, I make at least one pot of soup a week, and this will surely be added to the queue! Lynda - November 12, 2011 - 8:11 am
It’s definitely that time of year again, and this is my kind of soup! Kathryn O - November 13, 2011 - 8:11 pm
Healthy comfort food is my favorite too! And as much as I hate the colds that keep popping up this time of year, I love any excuse to cozy up and eat soups like this one. Looks amazing! NicoleD - November 16, 2011 - 9:09 am
Mmmm…I’d have this anytime, anywhere. Perfect for fall and winter! Cara - November 17, 2011 - 4:46 am
Looks just perfect, Kimberley! Would love to come home after a chilly, rainy day to THIS. Yasmeen @ Wandering Spice - November 17, 2011 - 7:39 pm
Sick or not, this is my kind of feel-good food. Looks absolutely perfect and just stocked with healthy bites. stephanie - November 19, 2011 - 7:53 pm
i have this simmering on the stove right now! the few slurps i’ve had thus far are delicious. i can’t wait to eat the final product with the cheese on top. bravo! kickpleat - November 21, 2011 - 5:20 pm
I love a good hearty vegetable soup and this one looks delicious. Love that wooden bowl too :) amelia - December 8, 2011 - 8:06 pm
i need to make this.

 It’s funny how sometimes the memory of a dish will follow you around for months, even years. It was sometime last spring that I had a dish like that, at Range here in San Francisco. The memorable dish was remarkably simple, though I didn’t know that at the time: Cod a la Nage. A la... by Kimberley show hide 19 comments Jess - May 6, 2011 - 5:21 pm
That sounds lovely- great idea to use the coconut milk, I bet it paired beautifully with the lemony sorrel. This dish might be nice with some toasted hazelnuts to garnish. Yum! tami - May 6, 2011 - 5:23 pm
going in my file to make later. so beautiful. thank you, as always, for sharing. Joy - May 6, 2011 - 5:56 pm
That looks unbelievably delicious! Seafood mhmmm. Lynda - May 6, 2011 - 6:22 pm
I love the variation with coconut milk. Thanks for another lovely recipe. kankana - May 6, 2011 - 11:10 pm
this looks so creamy and delicious .. Thinking how to convince hubby to eat this as he likes only fish fry Joanne - May 7, 2011 - 4:57 am
That coconut broth sounds absolutely luscious! I’d be slurping up the leftovers from the bowl as if it were cereal milk. kickpleat - May 7, 2011 - 12:58 pm
This looks delicious! I’ve been doing a lot of poaching lately but haven’t tried coconut milk – it’s going on the list. And I’ve never tried sorrel before! Brian @ A Thought For Food - May 7, 2011 - 7:36 pm
What a fantastic spring dish! The depth of the flavors here are so refreshing. Beautiful post! bianca - May 8, 2011 - 2:03 pm
This looks positively divine- so fresh and perfect for spring! Maria @ Scandifoodie - May 8, 2011 - 3:18 pm
I love this idea! Coconut milk would give such beautiful flavour to the fish, I’ll have to try this! Stephanie @ okie dokie artichokie - May 9, 2011 - 2:26 pm
Sounds orgasmic! LOL I need to cook with coconut milk more often. The stuff brings me to my knees! :-) Elizabeth @ Saffron Lane - May 9, 2011 - 4:26 pm
Love this photo and recipe — incredibly appetizing and comforting. Kulsum at JourneyKitchen - May 17, 2011 - 1:16 am
Beautiful. I always have coconut milk hanging out in the pantry – that’s how much I love it :-) Strictly Foodie - May 17, 2011 - 5:57 pm
Wow, this looks so simple, fresh and delicious. A must-make! Eva - February 5, 2012 - 4:37 pm
I’ve made this recipe several times and my family loves it! Recipe as is is perfect! The only difference is sometimes instead of sorrel I use fennel bulb. Slice it very thin and throw it in with the onions. Once the onions are done add a splash of white wine and let the fennel finish cooking till tender for about 20 mins then follow through with the rest of the recipe. Katie - March 5, 2012 - 5:18 pm

 When I was younger and a dedicated vegetarian, my mother picked up a paperback copy of the seminal vegetarian guide Laurel’s Kitchen.

Oh, the color! I have finally conquered my aversion to beets, if nothing else due to their stunning color. Now I can’t get enough of them. Lisa Warren - January 22, 2011 - 8:39 am
I love borscht as well- it is deeply rooted in my Russian heritage! Lately I have been roasting my beets with some olive oil salt and pepper before adding them to the stock pot. I find this intensifies the beet-i-ness of the soup and give the soup a more purple color. Your picture is beautiful! Meda - January 22, 2011 - 8:56 am
A healthy and colourful way to enjoy vegetables! The presentation is simply beautiful. Mika - January 24, 2011 - 10:13 am
There are so many recipes for borscht, everytime I think to try one of them I got scared… Rita - January 24, 2011 - 2:05 pm
Your pics and recipes are always so beautiful!!! I adore them. You should submit your pics to foodgawker… Jun - January 24, 2011 - 8:42 pm
I go nuts for everything in clean and crisp white. Your blog is fabulous! You are now my new favorite! leela - January 24, 2011 - 8:55 pm
borsht, it feeds the soul in its beautiful color and delicate flavor! branny - January 26, 2011 - 12:14 pm
I was just seeking out borscht recipes last week. Your pictures are wonderful. Did you try it cold? kimberley - February 3, 2011 - 11:00 am
@Lynda: It’s funny how people either love or hate beets. The color is an amazing thing. Justin - June 16, 2011 - 6:29 pm
I love beets and this recipe. Im very excited to go ahead and make it again. This time for others but the cooks rewards is in the tasting it. Thanks

 If, this weekend, you were looking for the perfect winter dish to spend a long afternoon preparing, one that will drive you mad with its luxuriously rich smells – red wine, butter, onions and bacon – this is your answer.

I seriously have a coq au vin recipe marked in my new cookbook as a “to make.” Yours looks so deliciously amazing, I am extra inspired! kimberley - January 7, 2011 - 3:44 pm
I am completely enamored with Coq au Vin! Which new cookbook? Minda - January 8, 2011 - 8:47 am
This is a beautiful dish! The flavours are exquisite! Well done Lynda - January 8, 2011 - 10:01 am
Coq au vin is one of my favorite winter stews. Lovely photo! deana@lostpastremembered - January 9, 2011 - 7:33 am
I haven’t made this since last winter… what with the snow.. I can’t think of a better dish for this weather… lovely recipe and photo! Nicole - January 10, 2011 - 2:43 pm
Such a gorgeous looking stew! I agree, winter Sundays were definitely made for dishes like this. Brandi - January 11, 2011 - 11:27 am

Thanks Minda! Designhotdog - March 8, 2011 - 9:26 am
Last weekend I made Pho Beef. This weekend I will try this. Maren - March 8, 2011 - 11:49 am
Wow. This looks amazing. Do you think this recipe could be adapted to make in a slow-cooker? kimberley - March 8, 2011 - 12:47 pm
Hi Maren, I am almost certain that this can be adapted for a slow cooker. Perhaps you can try a quick search on google. Good luck! Nicole - May 3, 2011 - 12:54 pm
Just wanted to say thanks for a great recipe! This is tonight’s dinner and I can’t wait to eat it! Also, I am using my slow cooker for the braising portion of the recipe. I used the traditional stove top method through step 9 then poured the liquid and veggies into the slow cooker and added the chicken pieces. I have it in there on high for 5 hours. We’ll see how it turns out, but I think it should be just about right based on other recipes I’ve done with that programming. BohemiaJewellery - September 16, 2011 - 3:30 am
