JUICY LUCY

Steps:

• Lightly mix 6 ounces ground beef chuck with a big pinch of kosher salt. Form into two equal balls, and then shape into two flat patties. Lay two slices American cheese between them and form the meat around the cheese; make an indentation in the center of the patty. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; sprinkle the skillet with salt. Cook the burger 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve on a soft bun.

LUCIA-LUCIA FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook the sausage until cooked through and crispy. Remove the sausage from the pan, leaving the fat in the pan.
• Add the peanut oil to the chorizo fat and add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Cook's Note: Be careful! The seeds will start popping. When the seeds start to pop, add the curry leaves, which will sputter too, so watch out! Then add the onion, peanuts, garlic, turmeric, and paprika, sauteing until the onions are soft and golden brown. Add the tomatoes and okra. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and mushy and the okra is tender.
• Meanwhile, in a small nonstick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat and scramble the eggs.
• Add the cooked rice to the tomato mixture and stir. Cook until the rice is warmed through. Stir in the chorizo, scrambled eggs, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Taste the mixture and season with salt, and pepper, to taste.

CELERY AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Chop onion, Green Onion and Celery. Heat Oil and cook veggies for ten minutes. Make sure not to color veggies while cooking. Make a garni of 2 sprigs of parsley and thyme and one bay leaf. Add water or chicken stock, I used one can of chicken stock and the rest water. Add potato and garlic which have been halved. Cook 30-40 minutes adding additional salt and pepper for taste.When soup is done remove garni and blend the whole soup. If there is strings from the veggies you can strain. Reheat. Make garnish from piece of celery for the top of soup when you serve, by making tiny strips not slices.

CELERY AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat, add the onion, leek, and celery, and cook gently, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, until very tender. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt after the first 5 minutes. Make sure that the vegetables do not color.
• Add the potatoes, garlic, and bouquet garni. Stir together and add the water or stock. Bring to a simmer, add salt to taste, cover and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, until the vegetables are very tender and the broth fragrant. Remove from the heat.
• Remove the bouquet garni from the soup. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup (or you can put it through the fine blade of a food mill or use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing). Then strain through a medium strainer (this step is important; otherwise the soup will be stringy), using a pestle or the bottom of a ladle to push the soup through. Make sure to scrape the outside of the strainer so that all of the puree goes back into the soup. Return to the pot, stir with a whisk to even out the texture, heat through and season well with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each bowl with a few thin slices of celery and about 1/4 teaspoon walnut oil. Sprinkle with minced chives or chervil if you wish, and serve.

POTATO, PARSNIP, AND CELERY ROOT SOUP

Steps:

• In a soup pot or large Dutch oven, heat the butter and oil over medium-low heat. Add the leeks and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the potatoes, parsnips, celery root, and garlic, cover the pot, and stir occasionally until the veggies are heated through and softening a bit on the edges, about 10 minutes. Add the mustard, thyme, and bay leaf and continue to cook for 2 more minutes, or until aromatic. Add the wine and cook until the liquid has completely evaporated, about 1 minute.
• Add the broth and water, cover the pot partially, and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring just to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Continue to cook, partially covered, until the vegetables are completely soft and have started to break down a bit, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• To finish the soup, remove and discard the thyme stems and bay leaf and, working in batches, carefully puree the soup in a blender (or use an immersion blender). If you prefer a thinner soup, add a little more water to adjust the thickness.
• Stir in the cream and the lemon juice and taste. Adjust with more lemon juice or salt as needed and reheat as necessary.

• This soup is wonderful garnished with fresh croutons sautéed in butter and some chopped chives.
