Many of your staples have become my staples, too over the past year, and I would just like to thank you very much. Not only are your recipes always (and I mean ALWAYS) fantastic, but your writing is wonderful as well, and reading your posts puts me in mind of late summer evenings and legs dangling from a bridge, toes grazing the stream below.
This may be a weird thing to say, but you remind me of my mother in attitude and style (younger, obviously, though I'm only 16), and I find real comfort in this blog.

Gosh, all that to say I loved the soup!
I did add a a good lump of ginger, but other than that followed your instructions to the word.

Thanks so much,
Hannah

I'm not sure what mace is called in the UK, but here's an explanation of what it is. (It comes from the fruit of the nutmeg tree.) If you can't find it, you can omit it. And as for the apple cider, what I mean is unfiltered apple juice. (Not alcoholic.) If you can't find it, you can use any kind of good, flavorful apple juice.

Thanks Elaine

I'm from Scotland, does it have a different name in the UK maybe? Thanks, Elaine

This one and your changing minds cake. Wish me well!

Must be because it’s half applesauce…http://www.breadbabies.blogspot.com

This soup sounds like the perfect way to end a chilly day. Thanks!

This is my senior year of college, and I had yet to break-in the biggest pot in my cupboard, but tonight I made “history” … all thanks to you.I stumbled across your blog just a few days ago and, while browsing the recipe index, fell in love with the idea of apples, squash and their lovechild: this amazing soup.With a few alterations (I can’t afford cardamom, but I do have cinnamon!) including adding some hot sausage for extra flavor and texture, I conquered this soup and my fear of cooking things for more than 20 minutes.As per your suggestion, I’m letting the flavors meld in the fridge until I serve on Saturday, but my roommates taste tests all agree: you deserve a hearty thanks for crafting such an agreeable, perfectly warming wintery soup.

For a rash decision, yours is certainly one that I can get behind! Cheers to you – and your stockpot.

When I saw the picture of the Arizmendi brioche, I had to comment since I am a diehard Arizmendi/Cheese Board fan. You have exquisite taste!Speaking of stockpots, I have a story to share. Jacques Pepin and Julia Child were signing cookbooks at SF Union Square Macy’s years ago, when they were working on another PBS series together.I hurried from class across the Bay, hoping to get there in time to see and appreciate their lovely banter in person. I made it, but they had run out of the Julia and Jacques series cookbooks for signing…except for those included with a 12-quart stockpot they endorsed. A rash decision (and my non-foodie friends teased me endlessly about it), but it had to be done!Thanks always for sharing your stories and recipes. They are such a treat and very useful to those abroad without their cookbooks!
