Minestrone Romagna Style by John SpottiswoodThis is the way minestrone is made in Romagna.

Curry Lentil Soup by John SpottiswoodThis is a surprisingly light and tangy lentil soup. If you are used to thick and heavy lentil soups, this one will surprise you. It's very tasty and was a great complement to the pizza recipe I just put up. This is also adapted from a Greens restaurant recipe. |

Slow-cooker Beef Stew from Argentina by John SpottiswoodI slightly adapted thie famous Argentine beef stew to be slightly more flavorful...and thus to my liking.

We had it at our family reunion,… |

Amazing Red Lentil and Tomato Soup by John SpottiswoodI never thought I would have a red lentil soup that could match the Turkish red lentil soup that I have been served in Turkish restaurants and that I've learned to make.
