Creamy Corn Chowder with Fresh Basil and Cherry Tomato recipe

Very good! The recipe was fairly easy to make. I used miso paste and a very flavourful vegetable stock base, which gave the soup a great depth of flavour. Served soup with brown rice, and it was delicious yet filling and packed with goodness.

Anise Pork Roast recipe

There is a bit of confusion about these two plants. For some reason,the fennel plant, which resembles celery with fern like tops, has been called sweet anise in produce markets. The true anise is cultivated only for its seeds. So what you see labelled "sweet anise" in your market is probably fennel, but no matter what you call it, this is a highly interesting vegetable. Every part of this aromatic plant has a taste and aroma similar to licorice. The stems are eaten like celery,uncook, or cooked and served as a vegetable (heavenly with apples in waldorf salad) available from September to May.

A must on your Christmas cookie tray. Despite the lemony frosting, the cinnamon flavor comes through.
