I like to try new recipes, constantly, and have a stack of favourites collected over the years. Everyone in the house must love the recipe or it gets tossed. I plan suppers one month in advance; supper is my favourite meal of the day! Here, I'll share with you what I made and how it turned out.

January 31st: roasted cauliflower soup, parchment-baked gremolata fish
Two recipes tried out tonight, one winner, one loser. The winner: from Cooking With My Kid: Roasted Cauliflower Soup. This was surprisingly creamy and delicious, considering there are only a couple of ingredients. Roast some cauliflower and garlic, fry some onions, mix them all together and boil them in some broth (I used chicken), purée and voilà: delicious filling soup. I rarely like a soup recipe, so this was a pleasant surprise. I had to add more liquid than the recipe called for to get the right consistency; this may be because I boiled the veggies down in an opened pot rather than covered. Next time I'll try covering. Of course, my cauliflower might just have been too big, who knows.
The loser: From February (I jumped the gun!) 2011's Chatelaine: Parchment-Baked Gremolata Fish (I made cod). I left out the capers, but found it a little dull, even with the lemon, dill and shallots. It's sad, but we really like our fish breaded and served with tartar sauce. I hang my head.
Made this soup tonight - food processor didn't make it the same texture, but still tasty. The key, though, was the dollop of sour cream we added to each bowl - mmmmmmmm. Made it much tastier than it was without.
