With the arrival of the fall and the chilly mornings, with the ever shortening days, I’m craving more often for a hot soup, for a home cooked meal. But who wants to prepare it: to clean the carrots, sauté the onions, to stay for hours in the kitchen, in one word – to cook? I suppose, not too many. It’s so much easier to sit down, enjoy the food and afterwards to say a polite “Thank you!”, and just simply leave.
