Is my Blog burning? Blog cooking day update
Just a short reminder for all those who are going to take part to the blog cooking day proposed last week.
-The theme of the cooking day is soups. I started with a bit more specific idea but it's better if we just keep it as general as possible. Anything goes: your favourite soup, a personal creation, a recipe you always wanted to try but never managed to... whatever tickles your imagination.
- It would be nice if you could post about your "experiments" next Sunday (8th February) and if you could put somewhere into the post the line "Is my blog burning?" to make it easier to look for those who took part on Google and such. I'll put up a list of all those who took part.
Have fun cooking!
count me in!
my contribution will be a new take on an Italian classic winter soup: "Pasta & Fagioli With Cumberland Sausage" which I will prepare for the first time on burning blog day... can't wait!

Carlo, that sounds great: an Italian classic with a British touch, a bit like yourself maybe? :-)

hello- Inspired by your post - I made tom yam soup for lunch.

Alberto,
What a fun idea! I made Khao Soi, a spicy and creamy Northern Thai curry noodle soup with chicken. I've also provided a recipe. It perhaps is the spiciest of all the entries. We shall see.
cheers,
Pim
P.S. Since you're reading David Thompson's book, you might want to check out my review of his restaurant in London, Nahm. It is also on my blog.

Kitchenslave and Pim, happy you joined in! I'll be posting a list of all those who took part later this week (to wait maybe for some late entries).
Pim: Interesting review. You're not the first person I hear complaning about how disappointing Nahm is. A quite famous Italian restaurant reviewer wrote, more or less, that "it's a pity his cooking isn't even near to his writing". What do you think of his book?

Alberto,
RE: the Nahm review, yeah, I was really disappointed. The book looks great, though I've never cooked from it. The food at the restaurant, on the other hand, was mediocre at best.
