I always love that feeling that the New Year brings. Putting away Christmas and refreshing the decor. Our weather is such that almost immediately in the New Year, I am thinking of springtime... Gardening a lot more and cooking lighter foods. When most of the country is thick in the middle of winter, I am planting sweet peas... so fortunate for this weather...but I often wish we had four seasons... we have one! On this lovely rainy day however, I enjoyed cooking hearty foods, and I was in the kitchen all day... I didn't have time to make a Panettone before Christmas, but I did it anyway. I also made a Savory Butternut and sage Tart, Corzetti Pasta, and an Olive and Herb Fougasse. In the Kitchen... happy as can be!
