I love children’s books. During my last visit to the L.A. area I braved the Camarillo Goodwill store (Goodwill’s in So. Cal. are not as nice as the Seattle stores). I bought Everything on a Waffle by Polly Horvath for 49 cents. It’s a story about Primrose, who’s parents are lost at sea. At the end of each chapter there are recipes. I’ll be including a few of these recipes on my blog so I don’t forget about them. This first one is more of a fall recipe. It really sounds good. I’m copying it just as it is written in Primrose’s words by author Polly Horvath;

Pear Soup

“Miss Bowser invented this recipe. Neither one of us wanted to ask Miss Honeycut for one. Put 4 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of white wine in a big pot. Peel and core 6 pears and poach them in the chicken broth and wine until soft. Puree. Add 1 cup of crumbled Stilton cheese and 1 cup of grated Gruyere cheese. Stir at low heat until the cheese is melted. Serve garnished with garlic croutons.”

Enjoy,
