How to Make a Cucumber Gazpacho

In early August, when the cucumbers grow large and the tomatoes start arriving in all their beautiful incarnations of reds, yellows, and oranges, like an early sign of autumn’s imminence, a Cucumber Gazpacho, along with my Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup, ebbs its way into my summer soup rotation. Gazpacho is the consummate cold soup to […]

Marmitako (Basque Tuna Stew)

When I first came across Marmitako, a Spanish tuna stew recipe from the Basque region, I cringed a little bit. Not because of the recipe itself, but because I’d claimed in my recent cookbook, New England Soups from the Sea, that tuna is a poor choice in soups and stews. I was confident in that […]

Lard: Where to Buy It, How to Make It, and Why You Should

Chances are, making lard at home is not something your mother did growing up. Well, at least if you’re my age. I was born in 1974 and never once growing up did my mother cook with it.  Nor do I think my grandparents cooked with it much either.  In fact, I asked my father recently if […]

Fiskesuppe (Norwegian Fish Soup)

It was the one constant everywhere I went in Norway. Fiskesuppe, otherwise known as Norwegian Fish Soup. Every cafe and restaurant had it on their menu. I saw it in Oslo, Kristiansand, Eidfjord, Geiranger and Flam. The ironic and sad part is that I never once had an opportunity to try it. As much as […]

Simple Samlar Machu (Cambodian Sour Soup) Recipe

I wish there was a better English translation for Samlar Machu (also spelled Samlor Machu) which in Khmer, the language spoken in Cambodia, translates as “sour soup.” That’s because Samlar Machu is really not THAT sour and there’s a lot more going on besides just the sour flavor – hints of sweet, salty, spicy (though […]

Khao Suey (Burmese Coconut Chicken Soup)

Khao Suey, sometimes also spelled Khow Suey (both pronounced “cow sway”) is a Burmese coconut chicken noodle soup that is not very well-known in the West. It is said to be the ancestor of Khao Soi, the more famed classic northern Thai soup, with which it shares many similarities. Technically speaking, the real name of […]
