Having parents who grew up in the war (that would be the second world war, oh younger readers) makes it impossible for me to waste anything. With a bit of ingenuity anyone can achieve wizard status with leftovers.
I had the opportunity recently to try several flavors of New England Country Soup. The Cambridge based company offers a selection of popular soup flavors in ready to heat pouches that are shelf-stable.
The other day I was at a farmer's market in Watertown. I was just about ready to leave empty handed when I spotted a giant leafy bunch of sorrel. I had only seen it in small packages at Whole Foods but never had I seen it like this before.
Talking to Steve Johnson, the gentle and clever chef at stylish-but-casual Rendezvous in Central Square, Cambridge, I’m impressed by his devotion to community, to local sourcing, and to good old-fashioned home economics.

Fall is such a wonderful time of year in the Seattle area--cool crisp days showing off the vivid fall foliage and a fresh dusting of snow in the nearby mountains. It is a wonderful time to cook, with so many richly flavored, aromatic ingredients available. Three come together in this soup: butternut squash, apples, and hazelnuts.
