Some of you reading this have mentioned that I must be feeling better now because I've started cooking again. A month-long cold had slowed me down quite a bit. From my point of view, the fact that I'm busy in the kitchen is the reason my santé is improving. Cooking keeps me going and the resulting food is nourishing and comforting. Here's a photo of the lasagna I made yesterday, ready for the oven. When it came out of the oven I was too busy eating it to stop and take more photos.
Today's project is a French classic called canard aux navets — duck with turnips. I know there are people who don't like the taste of turnips, but I'm not one of them. I'll cook the duck (cuisses de canard) in the air fryer, and when it's nice and brown I'll braise it with the diced turnips in a pan on the stove.I'm also going to serve it with some cassoulet beans. Pictures tomorrow...
I, too, was noticing the return of your cooking posts. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThose are nice, big lasagna noodles! Are they a kind that you don't have to cook in advance?
ReplyDeleteYes they are, and they are cooked in almost no time at all.
DeleteI don't know that I've ever had turnips. But I like root vegetables in general.
ReplyDeleteWe ate a lot of turnips in North Carolina when I was growing up. They are slightly sweet when well cooked.
