With all this cold weather, I’ve got a nasty craving for some good split pea (preferably without ham). Where are the favorites? I live in Brentwood, but will travel for taste!

I bought a nice looking ham hock for my split pea soup. I really prefer a meaty ham bone, but didn’t have one. The hock I bought was lovely to look at, but when it came to taking the meat off to add to the soup, there was...

Wanting to use a really good quality ham bone that I have to make a soup I can freeze. I have never tried it, but I was going to give a split pea soup a try. Some questions: 1. How do you keep the colour from getting the colour of...

Some creative ideas for leftovers.
