Discovering Czechoslovakian food


Nutmeg and Parsley. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought to put together the two. But I am now trying out recipes from the Eastern European part of the world, a part that I have not spent too much time testing out. Friday was one of those busy crazy days. I was working in the morning, then went to hang out with a friend and then had to go grocery shopping since I was on supper duty. I was having a friend over for supper which adds a bit of time pressure as I like to have everything ready for when guests come as it is hard to fully pay attention to people when I have a recipe to follow. To top it off, dinner HAD to be ready by the time my friend showed because we were heading off to pick up tickets for a steve bell concert (I mentioned Steve in my last post, and there are never too many plugs for good music, so I give another - Steve Bell is an awesome singer/songwriter that has a real heart for God).

Anyways, I discovered a soup in my European cookbook that looked fairly simple and one that I could manage with the time pressures. And I was excited that it was from Czechoslovakia - a country I haven't delved into in terms of food. So I cooked a cauliflower soup. A relatively plain looking soup as it just had cauliflower and then heavy cream in it.


Here is the final product with nutmeg and parsley. the nutmeg adds a wonderful flavour that I can't quite describe. Yum!
