I absolutely want tomato basil soup! My mother used to serve it with a little bit of rice in it.

my photo of a white plate on which there are three mini cakes (strawberry and sponge in layers, then one shaped like an orange, and a chocolate log with a gold leaf) and, written in chocolate, the words "happy Birthday"

my photo of a beige plate on which is a individual sized pear and chocolate tart with fluted chocolate rim, a quenelle of vanilla ice cream and a rose petal. The plate has butterscotch drizzled on it. Spoon and fork on wooden table.

A Neighborhood Score. That Delicious Pesto Paste. Montis Boeher published a post on Ko-fi

The payoff to the pesto paste I made this week. I've now got more stock and broth than you can shake a stick at. #CookingSky #Cooking #TheOutpost #FoodSky

The carrot top pesto may be frugal but it sure looked delicious with the pasta and shrimp

my photo of a lemur sitting upright on a rock, one of several at ground level. The lemur's left arm is stretched up to grab hold of a black robe which mirrors his tail in thickness and curvature. In the background more rocks and small bushes

Not sure I have the stomach to be dealing with caul fat ๐Ÿ˜‚ though the rest, and the dressing, sounds simple enough. To be honest, I'm happy watching Sally Grainger make it. Imagine having "Roman-food historian & experimental archaeologist" on your passport. Must find her YouTube channel.

Birds considering eating strawberries seems to have been a preoccupation of artists of a previous age.

The Culinary World of Pompeii The bustling city of Pompeii was halted in its tracks in the autumn of 79 AD when Mount Vesuvius erupted, crushing the city under tons of ash and rubble.

Here's a little treat for your Thursday: Whipped Cream Cheesecake. ๐Ÿฅฎ I'm not a cheesecake expert, so you'll have to let me know your opinions on this recipe from @joyofcooking.bsky.social 1975 edition. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ ๐Ÿœ #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

A lot of eastern and central European cheesecakes go for cottage cheese or quark, which give you a lighter, less sweet but still velvety cheesecake when combined with sour cream and/or cream.

A deli counter icon of the 1980s, this tri-color rotini salad swirls nostalgia with flavor. Tossed in zesty Italian dressing, it recalls summer picnics, paper plates, and the bright, easy joy of simpler times. #TheOutpost #Cooking #Cooksky #Foodsky #DeliSalad #Recipe

I don't think my mother even used recipes. It was all in her head. She passed things down verbally. And yes, I get a little ๐Ÿ˜ญ when my daughter says she used a recipe of mine. I cook very simply. I write the instructions with her in mind, and she tells me if it flows logically in the kitchen.
