I‘m reading another book for #foodandlit for #Cambodia. It‘s gotten very dark, and so, needing something lighter and available from the library, I started this ebook tonight. It seems pretty dark as well. Alas a difficult country to read about. @Butterfinger @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick

Way late for December #foodandlit. Italy. I made cardoon gratin. This is a cardoon, I grow from seed. An Italian favorite, in the artichoke family. The stalks are peeled, cooked. Yes it tastes like artichoke! This year I thought to look in my copy of the Italian classic The Silver Spoon and it included several cardoon recipes. Next up is quiche!. Wonder if Tucci mentions them! @Butterfinger @Texreader @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick
I borrowed the tagged cookbook from the library and will probably cook from it at some point, but one of my favourite restaurants is Cambodian, so we had to have lunch there this month. We had, as always, the salad, so fresh and tasty. Apparently, it's traditional for New Year celebrations mid-April. ⬇

“Rainbow soap bubbles made an orrery around the children as they lathered themselves into creatures of white foam, then sloshed and rinsed till they were glistening brown seals.”
