Hello fellow epicurians!

If you are a vegetarian try bay leaf instead of proscuitto.

If you don’t mind meat, but can’t find imported things, try regular bacon or some diced ham.

Last night we made potato soup with homemade veggi stock. Yum!

Yum. Sounds just right for nights like these. Any suggestions for a prosciutto substitute?

yum!
for me it’s the foods you can’t get and a strange kitchen that really bring the knowledge that I’m far-from-home.
being let loose from my cookbooks, and food blogs, and favourite knives.
i find i cook simple meals, and usually begin by shopping every day (or almost).

good luck on your brand new adventure!

I’m definitely going to have to try this.

Every heard of the cookbook ‘More with Less’? It’s so easy to read and all the ingredients are cheap and in your pantry. And it uses ingredients that are good for you (and the planet). The author also shares little tidbits of wisdom about life, hospitality, and respecting the world’s resources.

Sounds delicious, easy and fast, Rachelle, 3 criteria I look for when choosing and after-work evening meal. (As a vegetarian, though, I would substitute seasonings for the prosciutto.)

March is Nutrition Month in Canada and I was wondering if I could interview you as one of my March features on my nutrition blog. Not only do I like your recipes, I think you have a great philosophy about eating and cooking with which I wholeheartedly agree. Could you email me if you’re interested. Thanks.
