Creamy White Corn and Acorn Squash Soup

Thanksgiving is due in a few days, and on top of the traditional dishes, it’s always nice to introduce a new one to the table. The following soup was created with this in mind.

The soup is a tasty combination of white corn, which is creamy and sweet, and acorn squash, with its nutty flavor and silky texture.

Beef Ossobuco with Onions and Mushrooms

The following hearty dish, is perfect for a cold day. The Ossobuco steak (cross-cut beef shank, with the bone in the center), is one of the richest and tastiest cuts. Inspired by the traditional “ossobuco in bianco” (ossobuco in white sauce) dish, that originated around Milan, I’ve decided to cook it with smothered onions and mushrooms, beef stock, white wine, mustard, juniper berries and bay leaves. The result was a falling-of-the-bones tender meat and bone marrow, with rich and aromatic sauce.
