Chestnut Soup with Bacon and Chives
4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced (about 4 oz.)
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 carrot, sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 small leek (white and light-green parts only), split lengthwise and sliced (about 1 cup)
2 small shallots, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
1 15-ounce jar whole roasted chestnuts
½ cup heavy cream
Crème fraîche, snipped chives, and grated nutmeg, for garnish
In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until rendered and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel–lined plate. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of the fat. In the same saucepan, melt the butter, and add the carrot, celery, leek, and shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat until softened and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add broth and chestnuts to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer, partially cover, and cook until all the ingredients are soft, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, and purée in batches in a blender until very smooth. Return to saucepan, add the cream, and heat thoroughly, adding stock to thin if needed. (A spoon should not leave a trail on the surface of the soup.)
Season with salt and pepper and ladle into warmed shallow bowls. Garnish with the reserved bacon, a dab of crème fraîche, chives, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Leek and Potato Soup
youtube
So bit random but I really like this soup (just made/ate it again) and I thought I would share just in case anyone else wants to give it a try!
The most tedious part is washing the leeks but it's worth it imo.
Written recipe: https://www.food.com/recipe/potage-parmentier-potato-leek-soup-julia-child-270731
This guy makes some pretty fun cooking videos, too!

Ahhhh I was reading your November challenge post and I must ask if you would be willing to share the cranberry balsamic cookie bar recipe and/or the leek butter because they both sound so good!!
I’m always happy to share recipes. Any time you want one just ask.
Leek Butter:
Fine chop a pile of leek stems (about 3 cups worth) and rinse them to remove all the sandy dirt. Pat dry then dump them in a sauce pan with 1-2 Tbsp butter. Sauté until dark golden brown. (You don’t need to stir constantly, you can kind of ignore it for 10min while you make something else.)
Once the leeks are all cooked up add a full cup of butter. Melt it all together to let the flavor mix, then strain it into a serving dish (I used a large ramekin). Take a Tbsp of cooked leek and stir it in, and reserve another Tbsp to put on top as garnish once it’s re-solidified. (Save the rest of the cooked leeks for soup or stock.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You’ll need to stir the leek infused butter a few times while it settles to prevent separation. Don’t just stick it in the fridge right away to harden.
I used Miyoko’s vegan butter cuz I was making it for a vegan friend. The flavor is fantastic but you can also use normal butter. Don’t use margarine, that’s a sin. This leek butter tastes divine. I would feed it to Jesus if he came to dinner. Got rave reviews from vegan and non-vegan friends alike at Friendsgiving.

Now for the
Cranberry Balsamic Cookie Bars:
I got the cranberry balsamic sauce recipe off tiktok from Username “Cook Fast, Eat Well”
Recipe -
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup salt
Cook all this together on high heat in a pot for 10min or so until it gets thick. (Once it starts boiling the cranberry skins pop like popcorn and that’s fun to listen to. If you’re impatient like me you can use a potato masher to speed up the process and make the sauce smoother.)
Cool for 5 min before adding:
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp black pepper
Zest from 1 orange
Stir together and cool before use. You can leave this in a sealed container in the fridge for a week if need be.

Recipe creator puts it on top of cream cheese as an appetizer dip, but I turned it into cookies using a family recipe my grandma made. Gma would use a 21 oz. can of pre-made cherry pie filling for these bars (and that’s dope, I recommend it) but here I substituted the cranberry balsamic sauce. (You can use any pie filling on this cookie base. I’ve done blueberry bars with a few drops of lavender extract mixed in and lemon zest in the dough, or peach pie with pecans and cinnamon. All variations I’ve tried are boss.) I used almonds in the cranberry bars cuz that’s what I had but walnuts would taste good too.
Cherry Pie Bars:
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 cup nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
1 can cherry pie filling (sub cranberry)
In large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar, then add vanilla and eggs until smooth. Mix in flour, then nuts.
In a 9”x13” pan, spread 3/4 of the dough flat, pour the whole can of pie filling over the top, then take 1” pinches of the remaining dough and drop them all over like little floating islands.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30min.
Dust with powdered sugar while still hot so it melts into the pie filling and stays white on the dough islands. It’s pretty. Cut into bars and enjoy!
Tumblr media
Hope you enjoy these recipes! Feel free to share them with anyone you want, and make any variation you please. These cookie bars are great for whatever fruit is seasonal, or that stray can of pie filling you found while cleaning out the cupboards.

Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Quiche (Vegetarian)
Tumblr media
Leftover Roasted Cauliflower and Garden Leeks make a hearty, fragrant and vibrant Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Quiche, a tasty picnic if you're on your way home from a long weekend! Happy Monday!
Ingredients (serves 4 to 8)
2 large Garden Leeks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ tablespoon olive oil
450 grams/1 pound chilled Pâte Brisée
6 large eggs
¾ cup crème fraîche or sour cream
¼ cup semi-skimmed milk
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 cup to a cup leftover Turmeric and Cumin Roasted Cauliflower
Thoroughly rinse Garden Leeks under cold water, removing any dirt.
Melt butter with olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cut Leeks into thick slices and add them to the skillet. Cover with the lid, and cook, 5 minutes. Flip leek slices on the other side, cover with the lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, a further 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely.
Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.
Roll Pâte Brisée out thinly onto a lightly floured surface. Fit into a buttered 26cm/10.25″ tart pan, letting the pastry overhang on the edges. Prick the base with a fork. Place a sheet of baking paper onto the Pâte Brisée and fill with dried beans or rice. Blind bake the Pâte Brisée crust  at 200°C/395°F, 10 minutes. Carefully remove the beans and baking paper, and bake another 5 minutes, at the same temperature. Remove from the oven. Let cool slightly before trimming the edges.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together with crème fraîche. Whisk in milk, salt and black pepper. Stir in Garam Masala and turmeric.
Arrange cooled Leeks onto the tart crust. Cut Roasted Cauliflower into chunks, and scatter them liberally on top. Pour egg and cream mixture evenly all over.
Place in the warm oven, and bake, at 200°C/395°F, 25 to 30 minutes, until cooked through and crust is beautifully golden brown.
Serve Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Quiche warm or cold, with dressed lettuce.

love being in charge of thanksgiving dinner i taste tested the turkey and went god damn this is the worst bird ive made to date by far but no skin off my back. then dinner rolls around and people are begging me to open a restaurant
#abrahim: im sorry but the cranberry sauce was a little too spicy this year#me (agrees): thats ok barby#abrahim 20 minutes later: actually after having a little more i changed my mind it’s really good#i should use this power for evil or something#woof#guest: the bird is SO moist#me: it’s like drywall actually but thanks?#what fucking thanksgiving dinners have you people been having. jesus christ#anyway here’s a rundown of the dinner.#potato leek soup: what it says on the tin. blended to a puree. the secret ingredient is curry powder and i#dress it with a basil infused EVOO drizzle and top with crispy bacon.#turkey: i brine in an orange-apple cider vinegar-white onion-cinnamon-star anise brine for at least overnight#then cover in a compound butter of rosemary sage oregano and garlic#aromatics in the cavity#the cranberry sauce is made with orange juice star anise and cinnamon.#i also repurposed some of#the cranberry sauce this year to infuse into my candied pomelo rinds#the mashed potatoes are mashed potatoes. idk I hate cooking potatoes I didn’t do anything special there#just a fuckton of butter. it’s meant to be a canvas for the rest of the food anyway.#zayn was in charge of veg because he is a veg god. he did brussel sprouts and roasted sweet potato#and both were a highlight for lots of people. he keeps things simple too but he just knows what herbs and spices to use#he’s so so good at keeping things healthy which imo is a greater accomplishment than what i do#all of my siblings are amazing cooks#oh and for dessert I ordered a lemon lavender cake for Zayn’s birthday and picked up pumpkin and pecan pies. barby brought eggnog

Neutral cope -> whenever you feel some extreme repressed memories comin up go and cook something to distract yourself. hehe
(neutral bc its bad to shove your feelings down but at the same time you are making something nourishing to eat and ur saving $$$ so it balances out imo)

You can just make a pasty. Like make some shortcrust or have some left-over and just fill it with whatever. If you can dream it you can eat it

A zero waste restaurant is an interesting concept.  What makes this concept even more exciting is how far you take this. Is it purely in relation to the food?  Using off cuts?  The whole hog?  In which case, St Johns already has you beat. Or does it extend to what you do with the packaging?  You can grind down glass bottles and repurpose these into glasses if you own an on site kiln. However,…
