Thanks to Kitchn on Apartment Therapy for featuring my Super Duper Immune Boosting soup – it was quite a thrill to see the recipe among the site’s Delicious Links on Wednesday!

Whenever I start to feel a little under the weather – like a cold coming on – I turn to this soup. Not for the faint of heart – it’s packed with goodies like garlic (a great antioxidant, and natural antibiotic), ginger (a marvelous detox agent and digestive aid as well as anti-inflammatory), onions, and loads of veggies. All that and it’s really easy to throw together in about 30 minutes. Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger you can handle in my recipe (below). [click to continue…]

This is a little delight perfect for a Fall weekend that you should try. It’s almost ridiculously easy and takes just a few ingredients. If you want to jazz it up you can add a bit of Vanilla or Almond extract to the egg mixture.

After this project, I must say I have a new appreciation for the effort that goes into taking appealing photos of bread. I have a great cookbook called Frida’s Fiestas written by Frida Kahlo’s stepdaughter (from Diego Rivera) that’s full of colorful photos, recipes and stories about the artist.
As you can imagine, The Day of The Dead is a big portion of this book, so I’ve been really looking forward to featuring one of the recipes from that section for Dead Man’s Bread.
I’ve been working on this recipe for a week now – my first batch of bread was disappointingly heavy and dry – but I was so intent on making this work that I went through a few revolutions of the recipe and came up with a final result that is really delightful. It’s a sweet, filling bread that I think is a great alternative to cupcakes and candy or even pastries. It’s absolutely fabulous with cider, coffee or tea.
I’ve also tried various versions of these photos – some inside, some outside. Some with props, some on white, on cutting boards – you name it. I think at the end of the day the shots of the dough are the most interesting – they look like odd little sculptures. The design on the top is meant to remind of bones – they also look like snakes to me.

One of the first plants that came up this year in my garden was the rhubarb – that is one tough plant! I love the bittersweet taste of it paired with strawberries and ice cream. Below is a great tried and true recipe for a Rhubarb Nut Tart that is absolutely splendid!
