I haven’t looked at your blog in a while–I was intimidated by some of the early recipes, as I’m a pretty basic cook. But the tagine looks like a perfect recipe for our family, so I’m glad I came back! Thanks for getting me out of a rut!

[…] I’m not making resolutions this year and the closest I get to a New Year’s detox is to take a break from baking for a few weeks. This soup feels like it would fall into a detox kind of category, though (and truth be told, I could use a break from all the rich eating of the past few weeks). Its flavors are light, clean and refreshing, but it also has a warming, sinuses-clearing kick from the chilies. It’s what I crave if I have a head cold, and it works for a hangover too. You can serve this on its own if you’re feeling delicate — with the added bonus that it can be prepared in no time at all — or as a first course to another Thai dish, such as Pad Thai, or maybe Kelly’s Asian chicken salad and scallion pancakes. Or if you’re craving these kinds of fresh flavors but would like something a little more substantial to see you through a cold snap like we’ve been having in Ireland, then try this pumpkin and tomato laksa.

This looks so delicious, perfect for a cold January day. I like the lemon and mint couscous too, I could imagine serving that with quite a few things. As a fellow freelancer, I too subscribe to your motto ‘work smarter, not harder’. It’s probably the only way to stay sane…
