I like your variations for the chestnut soup - it's such a perfect holiday selection and it sounds like you've found many ways to make it even better. My big hit for the month was the mushroom "stoup" that Kevin loved so much. Thanks for all the work you've done on the Cottage Cooking Club over 2015 and here's to a wonderful 2016.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171858975021092818.post-88848684801415405492016-01-05T16:20:11.890+01:002016-01-05T16:20:11.890+01:00These look so good!

It made me hungry! You made all of the recipes sound truly delicious. I love your presentation of the chestnut soup. Your Christmas guests are very lucky. I'm curious about the Jerusalem artichoke gratin too. I like their flavor a lot, and like almost all gratins...Thank you so much for asking about Miriam. I will add a couple of photos to the bottom of my post. It's funny that you ask, no pressure to send anything but we do love those wooden toys. They are the best. I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday. Happy New Year and all the best in 2016!!

I love the pan you used for the Chachouka, and it looks lovely. The dish was well received at my house. That Chestnut and Sage soup looks absolutely sensational, gorgeous. I have never yet prepared anything with chestnuts, mainly due to the difficulty in finding them but I shall order them on line since I've been intrigued, actually since you also prepared a chestnut something or other in your Dorie group. Pizza with Potatoes and Blue Cheese, also looks so very delicious. Then the tart, the Turkish Flatbread... exceptional. Hope you had a Happy Christmas and Wishing You a Happy New Year filled with good health, happiness, and much success ahead!

You are a marvelous and wonderful ...What can I say. You are a marvelous and wonderful chef, cook, baker, (and, Mom) all rolled into one. Except for the Jerusalem Artichoke gratin, every single recipe (I have tried several already) looks delicious and something I would enjoy. The jury is still out on the JA's. Somehow, after 4 years of food blogging, I have managed to escape making any dish with JA's. Need to change that record. Although I've done some cooking the past two months, it's been sporadic. It's difficult to create food when you're on-the-road. I will be glad to get settled in a few days and back to business. I've already checked in with Tally Farms and receive my first fruit/vegetable delivery next week.
