Culinary Adventures with Camilla

Today the Sunday Funday group is sharing mushroom recipes. Thanks to Stacy of  Food Lust People Love , Sue of  Palatable Pastime , Rebekah of  Making Miracles , and Wendy of  A Day in the Life on the Farm  for coordinating this low-stress group.  This week, with Sneha of Sneha's Recipe   hosting,   we're sharing recipes that include mushrooms.

  This month, I am hosting the Food'N'Flix group as we watch and -  hopefully - get inspired into the kitchen by Spirited Away . This is definitely out of the range of movies the group usually watches, but I hope that the other gals join the fun. On the Screen   imdb.com I had never heard of this movie until my boys purchased it on Amazon. They have long been fans of Studio Ghibli movies though I have never watched any of the movies with them. However, the first time they watched it, both commented that I should suggest it to my foodie movie group. I largely ignored that suggestion until I was reading through a list of top twenty-five films that food lovers have to watch. Okay. I was convinced and offered to host it for our foodie, movie-watching group this month. For those unfamiliar, as I was, Hayao Miyazaki is the Japanese animator, writer, director, producer, and filmmaker whose work with Studio Ghibli has resulted in creative and influential animated films, including...

Here we are at the May 2020 Soup Saturday Swappers event. Wendy of  A Day in the Life on the Farm  started this event and, every month, I get a new array of soup recipes to put in my to-try pile. This month, we are hosted by Colleen of  Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice  who writes: "Create a soup using fresh vegetables. No frozen or canned vegetables allowed." Sounds fabulous. Here's the line-up of fresh veggie soup recipes from the #SoupSwappers...

I don't know why I always thought borsch was a cold beet soup. Got that wrong! No, no, no, this was a warm, flavorful, nutritious winter soup that I garnished with some sour cream and a dollop of caviar. I also thought that borsch only had beets in it. Wrong again, this soup has tons of earthy goodness in the form of onions, carrots, potatoes and more! And while it can be blended smooth, I opted to leave it chunky and rustic. I served this with some "periwinkle" bread. Translation: pumpernickel bread. I guess Dylan thought I said periwinkle. 6 small beets, roasted, peeled, and diced 4 potatoes, roasted and diced 3 carrots, thinly sliced 4 stalks of celery, thinly sliced 1 small onion, peeled and thinly sliced 8 C organic chicken stock 1 C fresh chopped chervil 3 bok choy, chiffonaded freshly ground sea salt freshly ground pepper sour cream, for garnish caviar, for garnish In a large soup pot, brown the onion, celery, and carrots in a splash of olive oi...

I decided to go all green when I cooked my Lotus Foods organic jade pearl rice . So while the rice steamed in one pot, I sauteed minced garlic, slices of fennel, zucchini coins, and chopped bok choy in a splash of olive oil. When the rice was cooked, I gently incorporated it into my green veggies and seasoned it all with minced fresh dill and fresh tarragon. What a tasty - and green! - sidedish. And because I was always taught to have a minimum of three colors on a plate, I served this with chicken sausages, bright purple kimchi, and roasted golden beets.
