About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Favorite cookbook: The Complete Meze Table by Rosamond Man

Soupe aux choux : page 33

Peasant food, simple and good.
I did not add any extra salt - the stock and the bacon provided plenty of salt.
I left out the potato - those who wanted carbs crumbled some bread into their soup bowls.
I added a splash of white wine to add a bit more acidity and depth, and this worked well.
