Budding film-makers Justin and Ryan visited us this Summer – two of many WWOOFERS – and caught us on camera.
Juurikasviksiakeitto
Cooler days find me cooking up scandinavian soups such as the parsnip puree – a juurikasviksiakeitto, or root veg puree, pictured below. Adapted from Sundays at Moosewood, tonight I: sauteed 2 medium onions in 3 TBSP olive oil, then once it turned translucent added more olive oil and 3C parsnips, 2C potatoes, 1 celery root, TBSP fennel seed.
Meanwhile I put some of the celery leaves, discarded onion skin,a few cloves of garlic, 6 peppercorns, 12 coriander seed into 5.5C water and simmered it to make stock. To the browned saute I added 1 tsp dill seed, 2C non-dairy milk, tsp salt and 2.5C of the strained stock. The smell of dill and fennel seed popping is supreme. Simmered 20-30 mins.
Finally I took it off the heat, blended it with the hand-blender and ate it seated with friends, accompanied by fresh baked beet bread and sweet potato hash.
lost and found
When the first staking of yellow pear toms slowly started to ripen i took this shot. And promptly lost the camera. Found it in the urban shiitake lot yesterevening. Yes! Now lots more cherries are ripe for the picking. Despite the usual string of leaf diseases. Eat up.
