Eating Soup: Broccoli Gorgonzola Soup
We had the Waitrose version of this soup while staying with at my aunt's house in the south of England this last winter. The Waitrose version had a surprisingly short list of ingredients - we are usually not the types to eat "pre-made" meals, what with all their nitrites and ridiculous ingredients lists. Anyway, inspired, we decided to make our own. 1 onion, chopped 3 heads of broccoli, floretted. 1 block (about 6 0z) of Gorgonzola (or Stilton or Bleu etc), crumbled 3 cloves garlic, minced salt, pepper, olive oil to taste olive oil 4 cups of water/stock - I used my homemade stockStep 1 Heat a barbecue plate on high. Reduce heat to low. Cook eggplant, turning occasionally, for 45 minutes or until browned all over and tender. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil. Stand for 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.

"I'm looking for a recipe for hypocras. It's French red wine and a blend of spices, mostly ginger." Peter Swanson, location unknown Hypocras (also spelled "hyppocras") is at the very least a Medieval drink, but more probably, as the name suggests, it dates back in time to pre-Christian or first millennium Greece. I have found recipes for it in English dating back to the reign of Edward III (1327-1377). In more recent times in Colonial America, an almost identical drink was made and called "mulled wine."
