Once I made Lela (a friend I visit teach) some cauliflower soup and presented it in a glass jar. I love presenting soup in glass jars. Months later she requested the recipe. I am a person who remembers the origin of a recipe. I had no clue where this one came from. Then the book arrived by post. I took it outside to worship the sun on the stairs and open my gem. I greedily turned pages. I found the cauliflower soup with aged Cheddar and mustard croutons. It was Heidi's. I blessed her name.
She is a person who makes mixed citrus juice sound like nothing you have quaffed. From her I think making whole grain mustard is a great idea. Next on my list is her cabbage soup (chickpeas, potatoes, garlic, curry powder). Last year I featured her shaved fennel salad in my annual cookbook. Carnival cookies (peanuts, popcorn, chocolate chips). And the traditional Indian beverage, iced panakam (ginger, cardamom, lime juice, sparkling water). Yes, I will.
