A bowl of lentil soup is unmatched in its simplicity. If you can boil water and chop an onion, you can make this delicious one pot meal. It can be dressed up with a dollop of sour cream, chopped parsley, and served with crusty bread– or simply reheated for a hearty work lunch. I'd […]

Monthly Archives: February 2009I've been consuming clementines by the crate over the the last few weeks. I peel and devour at least ten a day. If I thought they would keep, I'd pile them to the ceiling to make sure I always had more on hand. While a bowl full of sweet citrus segments suits me just fine […] show 18 comments i’m in love with this already. so simple with only five ingredients – especially the little cuties! i’m in love with this already. so simple with only five ingredients – especially the little cuties!

I’m confused when you say “the original recipe isn’t clear on whether or not to retain the juices.” I’m confused when you say “the original recipe isn’t clear on whether or not to retain the juices.” just this weekend I made a lemon tart with whole meyer lemons. So I am excited about this cake because I too have the almond meal and cuties on my kitchen counter. Do you think an orange or almond liqueur would compliment this cake or would it be unnecessary? Sounds so yummy and looks pretty as well. just this weekend I made a lemon tart with whole meyer lemons.

Sounds so yummy and looks pretty as well. I have made this cake and it was nice. Much better than I had thought it would be. It also kept pretty well, which is pretty nice since there are only two of us in the hosue. I have made this cake and it was nice. Much better than I had thought it would be. It also kept pretty well, which is pretty nice since there are only two of us in the hosue. Tried this cake last night. I was a little freaked out about the batter without flour but it turned out great! No clementines on hand so I used 3 tangerines and a hand full of kumquats. YUM. Like Bowl of Plenty, I suggest lining the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, in addition to the sides. Tried this cake last night.

Several months ago, my friend Joanna posted about the miracle fruit dinner she hosted on her site, My Vegetable Blog.

Miracle fruit contains a protein called Miraculin that binds with the taste buds to […] show 24 comments DogFishHead 120…nice touch! DogFishHead 120…nice touch! Great dinner.

kickpleat - yum! i’ve got pretty much everything i need to make this, but i need to take a break from soups since i’ve been making them pretty much non-stop for about 2 weeks. My husband who hates soups would probably appreciate a reprieve! but i’ll put this on my list, definitely :)

J.F. Bruzan - Harvard Avenue - Thanks for posting this recipe. It turned out great. A quick and simple soup, like this, is very handy to have.

Gemma - Thanks everyone. I’m glad to hear that others are as enthusiastic about the Zuni recipe. It is definitely a keeper.
J.F.– I agree, simple soups are often the best.

Lynn - This is lovely. One can throw in a bit of turmeric too, since it’s good for memory function. Also if I have leftovers I drain the liquid a bit and add my favorite vinaigrette, plus crumbled Feta cheese, and turn it into a salad. Green lentils are simply the best, they don’t get too mushy like the red variety. Thank you!
