What's for Dinner, Mon., June 16, 2025

Leek, Cauliflower, and Tarragon soup. I'm using my frozen leek broth, which shortcuts cooking time. Fresh tarragon from the garden: I have to go wading out in the wet pathway to get it, though. Raining here.

Cornbread to go with the soup. I put olive oil butter on it and toast it in the air fryer.

I checked out two of these giant cookbooks from the library. One is Bon Appetit and is nearly 3" thick. The other I heard about on a cookbook forum. It's called 101 Classic Cookbooks. In the front they have color plates of the classic cookbooks and in the back, they have a selection of recipes from each. I found the recipe in the former.

I am having so much fun with these cookbooks, and to think with my library, I can have them out until nearly the end of July!

If you have a minute and like cookbooks, Amazon has a good sample with many pages of the graphics of the Classic Cookbooks.

Tossed greens with cucumbers to go with the meal.

Kombucha: Berry

Dessert: a couple raspberry sandwich cookies and hot tea.

Haddock simply broiled, basted with evoo, seasoned with bay seasoning and paprika. Steamed brussel sprout and sliced mushrooms with dollop of Miyoko’s butter and tossed in a brown rice-quinoa mixture. Fresh lemon juice squeezed on it all. Cheers!🥂

Hey NYCher, that soup sounds terrific!
