🍲 Your Cozy Sunday Supper is Simmering

Published 2 months agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hello, Reader.

We've had a week of warm and sunny days here in Portugal. But when I woke up this morning, the sky was heavy with clouds and the smell of rain is in the air.

It's the kind of cozy Sunday that demands something simmering on the back of the stove and a new-to-you British detective series. I've got you covered on both fronts (read to the bottom!)

5 Cozy Stove-top Dinners

  1. ​Portuguese Seafood Stew - A one-pot wonder of white fish (throw in shrimp, too!) swimming in a tomato-wine broth that tastes like a rainy day on the Iberian coast.
  2. ​Japanese Shrimp Curry - This velvety, golden curry creates a dish reminiscent of your grandmother's pot roast with loads of umami.
  3. ​Ma​ryland-Style Crab and Veggie Soup - All the comfort of a Maryland crab feast, minus the mallets-slinging-shells-across-the-porch. This pot of comfort will transport you straight to the Chesapeake.
  4. ​Portuguese Garbanzo Soup with Cilantro Pesto - A humble can of garbanzos transforms into pure magic with a swirl of bright cilantro pesto.
  5. ​Easy Miso Ramen - When you want the soul-satisfying slurp of ramen but don't have three days to make broth, this 30-minute miracle is your answer.

Next week, I'm launching a new recipe series that might just revolutionize your weeknight cooking routine.

Stay tuned for a collection that proves sometimes the best things come in small (counter-top-sized) packages.

See you next week, friend.

PS: Craving a new British detective drama? I've inhaled Unforgotten (anything with Nicola Walker is pure gold), Line of Duty, and Broadchurch. Currently eyeing CB Strike - have you watched it? Drop me a reply with your must-watch recommendations!

Happy Sunday, friend. My little corner of Portugal skipped from spring rains straight to summer this week 😎...and no one is complaining about it. Feels like we moved from cozy stew season to break-out-the-grill literally overnight. This week I'm hearing from so many of you that by this point in Lent, you're officially tired of frozen fish sticks and the greasy local Fish Fry. Whether you're observing the last three Fish Fridays or just want to add more seafood to your weeknight rotation, I've...

Hello, Reader. My family in the midwest is digging out from another week of multiple snowstorms. Meanwhile, here across the Atlantic, we had a small-ish earthquake on Monday, followed by a deluge of rain - and today I woke up to bright skies and the warmest sun. If your head is spinning (like mine!), I hope this Sunday gives you a pocket of time for some well-deserved rest. We've earned it! And since so many of you tell me that salmon is your favorite fish, today's note is all about SALMON....
