Chicken Soup with Stelline

I’ve been silent for such a long time. You must be tired of looking at Brussels Sprouts day after day. Truly sorry for that. I didn’t even have a chance to share how happy I felt when I heard that Cafe Fernando was chosen as one of The World’s 50 Best Food Blogs by Times Online!  It is a great honor to be included in a list full of my heroes and heroines. Take a look at the list and you’ll know what I mean.

I’ve also missed the World Nutella Day (which is one of the most sacred days of the year for me),  as well as Sara’s wonderful posts about Istanbul.

And why? Let’s say there might be career change for me in the very near future. I have been working on the most exciting project ever, which required me to work day and night for the past three weeks and will continue to do so for the next couple of months. It is not related to food at all, but another subject that I’m equally (if not more) passionate about. I hate to be a tease, but I promise, I’ll spill the beans once the deal is closed. So until then, this chicken soup will have to do. And then maybe a delicious salad. And then maybe a recipe inspired by this secret project. Stay tuned! Oh my God, stay soooo tuned!

Creamy Braised Brussels Sprouts

I would have never imagined that I’d find myself daydreaming about Brussels sprouts one day.

It happens to me a lot with ice cream, Nutella-filled mini doughnuts, bagels and Korova cookies, but never with Brussels sprouts.

That was until I took a chance and tried the Creamy Braised Brussels Sprouts recipe from Molly Stevens’ “All About Braising”.

Mushroom Soup with Chervil Cream

Can you imagine Martha serving an ordinary soup at a Thanksgiving dinner? Exactly. But that’s not the only reason why I bookmarked this mushroom soup as soon as I saw its photo gleaming on page 146 of Martha Stewart Living’s November 2006 issue, where she entertained 20+ guests at her farm in Bedford, New York.

Did it ever happen to you, too? A recipe screaming “Cook me. Ladle me into a pretty bowl. Then paint me with chervil cream. Then sprinkle tiny croutons on top of me and dig in”. It happens to me a lot. Should I worry?
