My newest book THE BEST SOUPS IN THE WORLD will be published by Wiley at the end of the year. It was fun writing and although I've always loved soups I became even more enamored and excited from the opportunity to test so many more soup recipes than one would normally. Don't ask me for a favorite: that's impossible. But a minestra di fave e dente de leone, fava and dandelion soup, is a soul-satisfying soup made with olive oil, tomato, onions, celery and carrot in chicken broth.

Congrats on the book! Soups are awesome and definitely soul-satisfying ; )
ReplyDeleteJust pre-ordered a copy at my local book seller in Hilo. I have most every book you have written, had to buy some out of print ones at Powell's and ABE. Care to share a tidbit or two of recipes with us while we wait for the book?

Would love to go to Hawaii. Well, now that it's summer, a gazpacho might be appropriate. They are often screwed up and that's because cooks get too ingredient-driven and have too much of something. You're trying to find a harmonic balance of flavors of the tomatoes, cucumber, bread, bell pepper, olive oil, and dry sherry.
