Hi Emily, looks like you were busy in the kitchen this month, you really went to town. Love your photos and presentation. Another good month. Take care!

Dear Emily, all seven dishes that you prepared this month look utterly delicious - I do hope that you and your husband enjoyed them all! Very colorful and pretty presentation - and I know that it is not always easy to present vegetable dishes but you did a marvelous job with all of them!
Thank you kindly for participating again in The Cottage Cooking Club this month - we all appreciate your continued support and enthusiam!

Hi Emily, Wow, you had quite a productive month and your dishes look wonderful! Hope you enjoyed them all! Great to see you on CCC!

Zosia said...

Emily, what a beautiful array of dishes. Everything looks so delicious but I'm particularly drawn to the eggplant dish with the grill marks - that one was a big hit with my family.

Teresa said...

You managed seven - I'm always so impressed at how many you make each month! And they all look wonderful. Isn't it nice when you get a request to repeat a recipe so soon? That's what happened at my house with the cauliflower and chickpea curry. :)

Betsy said...

You shouldn't dwell on the ones you didn't make. You made so many of this month's recipes. They all look great!

Mary Hirsch said...

Man, you are one of the super CCC bloggers this month. A blue ribbon, making 7 dishes. And, they all look delicious. Didn't you love the poached egg technique? I had made that before and several times after and always do it that way. Perfect and soft-yolked egg every time. I agree with Betsy, you should NOT dwell on what you didn't make. Kill me now if I dwelled on that. I just am looking at the recipes I didn't get to each month as opportunities for the future! Thank you for your "Moment" comments. I really enjoyed reading your and your husband's thoughts. And, if you want to make the chocolate cake in a cup in your oven, use self-rising flour and bake at 350 degrees (180 C) in a greased ovenproof cup for about 20 minutes. I have not read any of the books you suggested so I put them on my List. Thank you. Thank you.
