blueberry-rhubarb syrup & jam

Just one more delicious thing to do with rhubarb - which we got a goodly amount of from our CSA shares.

chile-sesame noodle salad (in pictures)

This recipe is similar, but not identical to, the one without pictures. It is still quite a spicy dish, but I had sweet peas instead of green beans and I was not in the mood for the tamarind flavour so I left it out.

easy beef stew (in pictures)

For me, one of the most satisfying of comfort foods is a slow cooked beef stew. But since my schedule does not always allow time for the slow cook stew, I also use this (relatively) quick and easy recipe.

blueberry-vanilla scones (in pictures)

"These are the best scones I have ever tasted!" I hear this every time I serve these scones. The original, and unmodified, recipe can be found in "The Professional Pastry Chef". (If you seriously want to learn to bake, then you should get this book.)

I have reduced the amount of creame a bit, replaced the 6 oz. of candied orange peel w/ 2 oz. of dried fruit (though I do sometimes add 2 T. of sugared orange or lemon zest), and clarified (I think) the steps of mixing and shaping the dough.
