Along with her husband Frederic Patenaude, she teaches and encourages people to eat fresh plant foods as much as possible and stays up to date on current research in the natural health and plant based diet world. She honed her skills in the kitchen day after day from testing oil- free raw and vegan recipes out on her husband, family and friends. Most recipe books and restaurant foods are too oily and high in fat and many modifications were needed to tweak things in the right direction. She decided enough was enough of modifying and altering existing recipes, and started writing down and photographing her own creations. The recipes in this book are the results of several months of testing her recipes and getting just the right amount of flavor without compromising the healthy aspect of plant based food. So get ready to have the best soup you have EVER had in your life! Enjoy.

  • Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Jewish Food
    Excerpt from Encyclopedia of Jewish Food Borscht Borscht is a soup made with beets. It may be hot or cold and it may contain meat or be vegetarian. Origin: Ukraine Other names: Polish: barszcz; Russian: borshch; Ukranian: borshch; Yiddish: borsht. Northern Poland and the Baltic States are rather far north, lying in a region with long dark winters, a relatively short growing season, and a limited number of (as well as sometimes an aversion to) available vegetables. During the early medieval period, eastern Europeans began making a chunky soup from a wild whitish root related to carrots, called brsh in Old Slavonic and cow parsnip in English. Possibly originating in Lithuania, the soup spread throughout the Slavic regions of Europe to become, along with shchi (cabbage soup), the predominant dish, each area giving the name its local slightly different pronunciation. In May, peasants would pick the tender leaves of the brsh to cook as greens, then gather and store the roots to last as a staple through the fall and winter. Typically, a huge pot of brsh stew was prepared, using whatever meat and bones one could afford and variously adding other root vegetables, beans, cabbage, mushrooms, or whatever was on hand. This fed the family for a week or more and was sporadically refreshed with more of the ingredients or what was found. The root’s somewhat acrid flavor hardly made the most flavorsome of soups, even with the addition of meat, but the wild roots were free to foragers; brsh was one of the few vegetables available to peasants during the winter and provided a flavor variation essential to the Slavic culture.

  • Vegetarian Soup Recipe Book
    http://schoolofphilosophykzn.org/ 2 Winter is the perfect time for soup - a beautiful way to celebrate and embrace the season. It is time to get stuck into the soup pots and crock pots and keep an eye out for your best seasonal produce. Students at the School of Philosophy KZN have contributed their favourite vegetable soup recipes, all bursting with flavour and nutrients. There's nothing a warm, steamy bowl of homemade soup can't fix. “Soup is the song of the hearth... and the home.” ~ Louis P. De Gouy “Do you have a kinder, more adaptable friend in the food world than soup? Who soothes you when you are ill? Who refuses to leave you when you are impoverished and stretches its resources to give a hearty sustenance and cheer? Who warms you in the winter and cools you in the summer? Yet who also is capable of doing honour to your richest table and impressing your most demanding guests? Soup does its loyal best, no matter what undignified conditions are imposed upon it. You don't catch steak hanging around when you're poor and sick, do you?" ~ Judith Martin The Secret of living well and longer is: eat half, walk double, laugh triple and love without measure. ~ Tibetan Proverb http://schoolofphilosophykzn.org/ 3 http://schoolofphilosophykzn.org/ 4 Contents Soup Know How ...................................................................................................................................... 6 Asparagus: Cream of Asparagus Soup ...................................................................................................

  • CHEZ FRANÇOIS Restaurant Volume 25 Issue 1
    Spring 2012 CHEZ FRANÇOIS Restaurant Volume 25 Issue 1 555 Main Street, Vermilion, Ohio 44089 • www.Chezfrancois.com • A publication for friends and guests of Chez François. Dear Friend of Chez François, Thank you for your patronage this past year. We feel blessed to have you as our guest and we look forward to continued success this coming year. Fair, fair...what is all this talk about fairness? Few things are ever truly fair. It seems those who complain about fairness are the ones that don’t really do anything. They never learn that you have to work hard in life, yet feel entitled to many rights they never earned.When in fact, the only right they have in America is the right of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. From early childhood we were taught that if you believe in an idea and work hard to execute and have faith in that idea, then you will be successful. It is easy to have an idea, but quite another to commit the time and effort on a daily basis. Inevitably, there will be negative influences along the way and those who will try to criticize, but diligence and persistence guide one through these times. Criticism is fine, as long as it’s constructive and one learns and improves from it, which is what we’ve done for the past 25 years...always striving for improvement in the pursuit of excellence. So if others are more successful than we are, bear in mind it is likely the result of a great deal of time and devotion towards a solid concept and often of great sacrifice too.
