I’m thrilled when the Williams-Sonoma catalogue shows up in my mailbox. Not only are all of the pricey kitchen tools and gadgets fun to lust over, but the recipes they include in each issue are fantastic. My recipe file is full of little clippings that I’ve compiled over the past few years from this very valuable source. Seems W-S finally got the hint that people really do enjoy their recipes and compiled them into one location on their web site along with tips and dishes for produce that’s currently in season. If you’re planning your Thanksgiving meal now would be a great time to check it out!

I’ve never incorporated sweet potatoes into a dessert before, but these Sweet Potato Cakes look like they would be moist and not too sweet. Perfect for those with only a tiny sweet tooth.
Cool kitchen gadgets knock my socks off. The latest is Keru Keru. Just pour your liquid ingredient of choice into the glass bottle and you’re all set.
The ideal product for those who like to whizzz around in the kitchen, whipping up multi course feasts, know that a table spoon of oil here and a bit of soy there is the standard procedure. One is constantly in need of some liquid and that means open bottle, close bottle, open bottle, close bottle and anybody who has ever spilled a bottle of Thai fish sauce know of the importance of a properly closed bottle.
I always have dreams of Thanksgiving grandeur, filled with perfect table settings and the most exquisite feast. Contrary to my dreams, my celebrations are usually relatively small. However, should there ever come a time when I need to break out extra chairs for the Dinner of All Dinners, these autumn place cards would be a must. Brilliantly easy!
Last week the lovely Anne of Give Studio emailed me about her fantastic new line of paper goods. Really gorgeous designs and perfect color combinations awaited my eyes and I became an insta-fan!
I thought with Thanksgiving right around the corner that now would be a great time to showcase sweet potatoes. But you won’t find any sweet potato casserole recipes here! Because Sweet Potatoes Week is all about the unexpected!
As I mentioned earlier, today is downright dreary and fall-like here today which leaves me craving a hot bowl of soup. The unexpected combination of ingredients in Thai Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup leave me thinking that this would be a perfect fit.
