They are actually a tuber, related (distantly) to the sunflower, or 'girasol' and eventually the word was altered to 'Jerusalem'. This soup may be pre-prepared, then heated when it's time to serve. http://www.grouprecipes.com/88668/jerusalem-artichoke-soup.html I'm sitting in our hotel room now adding this recipe. We spend weeks on the road in our family business. A road warrior simply must avoid toxic fast food to survive. We try to get a suite with a kitchenette and make our own meals. We always make greens the first day and we use them for the duration of our stay. We use our greens as a base or side dish in every meal. Mix with eggs in the morning for a perfect frittata. I'll reference our "family greens" in many of my recipes.. :) http://www.grouprecipes.com/79589/suite-family-traveling-greens.html Lobster ravioli in a decadently rich cream sauce. Great for a special guest or event. Pair it with a good Sauvignon Blanc and you're in heaven. http://www.grouprecipes.com/66325/lobster-ravioli-with-mascarpone-cream-sauce.html Imported, 70% Amedei chocolate wrapped in luxuriously creamy peanut butter cookie dough then gets enveloped in a chocolate - espresso cookie wrapper before being baked. It takes some time, and a little effort, but it's worth it! The resulting treat is nothing short of decadent, and insanely rich... tread lightly! Full story on my blog: http://yummysmells.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-cookie-for-1-million.html http://www.grouprecipes.com/54517/italian-millionaire-cookies.html If you're into your very rich chocolate desserts, such as souffle or mousse, this is for you! http://www.grouprecipes.com/33855/rich-chocolate-cups.html This recipe for clafouti, a classic French dessert, is a potluck staple of mine and one of my top most requested recipes. It is surprisingly low in sugar, relying mostly on the sweetness of the fruit for flavor, and it's also a wonderful, easy way to use an abundance of summer stone fruits - plums, peaches, nectarines, and the like - without the hassle of making a pie. I've never met anyone who doesn't like this dish - including people who hate custards, people who hate sweets, and people who hate just about everything! This recipe has been adapted from an Epicurious one I found online - I've converted it to a One-Pot recipe so it is easy to make and easy to clean up after. I've also included a sulfite-free variation in the "Alterations" section for people who can't have wine. http://www.grouprecipes.com/19100/french-summer-fruit-clafouti.html 347 calories per serving. Lasagne is a firm favourite with everyone. Unfortunately, with all that pasta, creamy sauce and fatty beef, it can be a huge meal. My version replaces some of the pasta and meat with vegetables, and compared to an additive-filled, processed version, this is much better for the waistline. All the Italian purists that I know will be up in arms, but for me this is a great dish that leaves me feeling full of energy. http://www.grouprecipes.com/15867/light-but-luxurious-lasagne.html A special occasion dessert for when calorie intake is not an issue! http://www.grouprecipes.com/1560/beignets-souffles.html
