bits of perfectly cooked, crispy sweetbreads with a cauliflower (soup? emulsion?) punctuated with burnt bread crumbs and the essence of toasted hay (I kid you not). It was like autumn on a plate. Or the butternut squash and banana...

is coming for dinner tonight, and I’m doing moose steaks from a moose a friend of mine shot last autumn. I’m serving them with a brandy/cream/green peppercorn sauce, with a 10 y.o. pinotage.

, and now that autumn is upon us I’ve been cooking a lot more. Tonight we’re having chicken breast (in the crock pot with gravy) mashers (made with broth) and frozen green beans. A little boring perhaps but so is plus...
