September 2014: I am woefully tardy in posting this. Sorry! I've had a crazier than usual couple of weeks.
This month’s pieces are inspired by sea urchins which have
come represent the embodiment of all I want for my children’s palates:
adventure and fearlessness.
If you’ve seen the movie The Hundred Foot Journey
you may relate. I took D with me to see the movie on opening night. As we
walked out he wanted two things: (1) to buy the DVD and (2) to cook with sea urchin. I
was floored. Needless to say, I went in search of urchin. I bought most already prepped, but wanted
him to clean one. He did and created an incredible spiced soup with coconut
milk and fresh herbs.
Here's the post from my kitchen blog: How to Clean an Urchin...
Here's his soup: D's Spiced Coconut & Urchin Soup...
So, that was it. Urchin = parenting success in making
sure that my kids will eat with purpose and an open mind. Here’s to new
things…on your plates and in your ears!
