Cooking

So I've been doing a decent amount of cooking lately. Of the new recipes I've tried, the highlight has to be a Hearty Tomato Soup with Lemon and Rosemary that I saw on Everyday Italian. I would cut down on the amount of salt (I like salty but it's even a little much for me) and add more black pepper. Also, there's a mistake in the directions, don't put the chopped rosemary in the soup, (keep that for the creme fraiche topping) put the whole sprig in (and make sure to fish it and the bay leaf out before pureeing). Finally, I had lots of heavy cream but no creme fraiche so I just whipped some up and substituted it - worked fine.
