Weekends in a French Kitchen: Chilled Spring Pea Soup

By

Weekends in a French Kitchen (click to read about the project: here) launched last week.  And if you're game, I'm including affiliate links to the cookbooks at the bottom of the post.

Special thanks to the project organizers: Alice of A Mama, Baby and Sharpei in the Kitchen, Christy of Confessions of a Culinary Diva, Tammy of Telling Stories from Chez Nous, and Emily of Blue Bungalow. What a fun, fun project they have designed. Join us.

This week's selection from Daniel Boulud and Dorie Greenspan's cookbook - Café Boulud Cookbook - is Chilled Spring Pea Soup. You'll find this recipe on page 112 of the Café Boulud Cookbook...we will not be posting the actual recipes on our blogs.


My Thoughts...
I used more herbs and skipped the cream and bacon on top. It was a warm summer evening and I carted the soup out to the backyard. The Precise Kitchen Elf was loving it! Look at this glee. We will definitely be making this again soon.

    I am so tempted to join you Cam but I am afraid I will get overwhelmed if I join any more clubs.

    Your soup looks delicious! Is that kale chopped up on top? That would pair well for sure. I love the photos of your cute kitchen elf. I wish my boys would have had such glee while eating this! He's a keeper for sure :)

    I can see that your kitchen elf loved this soup. Unfortunately it was not for me, but now I know.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

By
Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
