Welcome to the almost weekly newsletter of solo food!
|
I hope that you are well and that your friends and family are also well! In this edition of the newsletter, you will find two new recipes and an older one that I chose because I imagined that would be the perfect dessert when combined with the other two recipes for a starter, main course and dessert meal :) The new recipes are a creamy soup (without cream!) with broccoli and gorgonzola and a roast pork with an English sauce with honey! Both recipes are really good and couple well with the pears and chocolate crumble that I suggest as dessert. Moreover, this week follow up the next episodes in the Aronce story because presenting a pretentious lady all at once would be too much so have fun with this next episode and be ready for what is going to happen next because the story is not over yet!

Broccoli soup with gorgonzola cheese: This broccoli soup is delicate but still has a character due to the gorgonzola cheese :) The gorgonzola cheese is an Italian cheese that is milder the Roquefort and for this reason I was not very pleased the first time I made this recipe because I could not feel much the taste of the cheese. When I made the recipe again, I had to add more cheese and then the final result was good enough even though it remained quite mild. I managed to like the delicacy in this recipe, even if I prefer strong flavors, because I love broccoli and I was pleased with myself because I manage to create a recipe with broccoli that was different than the usual one cooked in a steamer. Furthermore, I added garlicky croutons to give more character and are better than fried garlic that can be a bit strong. Make this recipe and you will see that broccoli got at last a well worth soup!

Roast pork with Worcester sauce and honey: It’s not surprising to see that French think it impossible to make something good with something English! I guess, you already know how French and British have hated each other during the centuries, and this wariness lasts until today. But if you make this recipe, you will see that the Worcester sauce goes very well with the honey and both ingredients caramelize the roasted pork in a fantastic manner :) On top of all, adding rosemary, gives some pep to the dish which is very well served with a side dish as roasted potatoes and gives infinite pleasure to the young and the elderly :) Your turn to play!

Pears and Chocolate Crumble: This recipe for this crumble with pears and chocolate is one of the first I put in the blog! The crumble is made with oats instead of flour and it’s crunchier and definitely lighter :) I added it in this week’s selection because as I already told you, I’ve imagined it as the dessert that would marry well with the other two recipes in a 3 courses meal with starter, main course and dessert :) It’s light in sugar and low in fat and pears and chocolate are the best friends ever! Go ahead and make it, if you haven’t done it yet :)

Some people : The pretentious is back! (part 2): Have fun with the second part of the Aronce’s story and her « pretentious » reality that destroys good people who have done nothing wrong and who are just a bit more charismatic than she is! Every resemblance with people who are dead or alive is a pure coincidence :)

I wish you a fine lecture and happy groceries to all :)

See you soon and take care,
