Instant Potato Gnocchi with Prosciutto, Peas and Chanterelle Mushrooms

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Angela| Leave a comment

Despite their sketch origin, the instant potato gnocchi were tender, light and perfect vehicles for soaking up the rich sauce. Much more decadent than I could have ever imagined. If all dares would lead to such glorious effect, I’d be the Evel Knieval of the kitchen in no time. Maybe I’ll have that added to my business card… Continue reading →

Potato Leek Soup

The lovely leek is a tricky little bugger. While its cousin, the onion, smells fragrant and marvelous immediately upon entering the pan filled with butter or olive oil, the leek can be downright funky. But the patient are always rewarded for their efforts, and the leeks become luscious and silken if you let them hang out and do their thing. Crown this glory with white truffle oil and breadcrumbs toasted with a little butter and you are in for a real treat. Continue reading →

Truffled Potato Soup with Chives

Posted on May 30, 2010 by Angela| 1 Comment

I love this soup because it’s the proverbial king of the paradox – earthy potatoes are simmered with a homey stock, but then whipped to a smooth majesty of a soup. The top is kissed with truffle oil, with the earthiness of the truffle essence delivered via the clarity of the oil. It’s all glorious, grand and a reminder that we shouldn’t waste a single second dining on anything less than awesome. Continue reading →

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

The soup gets its name from the fact that once it’s finished, you get to embellish it just as you would a baked potato. Bacon or ham, cheeses of all kinds, scallions and chives, even a dollop of sour cream – all make delicious toppings. Choose what suits you and tuck in to a hearty bowl of deliciousity. Yup, deliciousity. Continue reading →
