These strawberries are easy to make and impressive-looking. They make nice gifts or additions to a table of sweets.

To make these, you will need a chocolate melting pot and paint brushes along with your ingredients.* The most important thing to remember when working with chocolate is to make sure everything is dry. If a spoon is wet, the chocolate will curdle and you will not be able to use it or this purpose (although adding a great amount of water will make it a nice chocolate drip for  cake).

When your strawberries are dipped and decorated, to transport them put a dab of melted chocolate on the tray where you will be placing the strawberry. Set the strawberry on top, let it dry on the tray, and this will stabilize it.

When I was a teenager my mother took me with her to a class on working with chocolate. I really enjoyed it and started baking and making chocolate pieces because of her. She is gone now and making these reminds me of her.

You can use any vegetables except potatoes, which don’t freeze well. I have made suggestions for the proportions of the vegetables, but what you choose is entirely up to you. Parsnips are sweet, and leeks and kohlrabi will add rich flavor. If you can’t get fresh turmeric it’s okay – the carrots will provide a warm yellow color – but do NOT use turmeric powder. Your soups will then taste like curry. Trust me on this, unless you don’t care.

I make lots of Romanian ciorba, hence the usage of lovage and dill in my vegetable bouillon.

For a fast soup on cold evenings, all you need to do is pop one or two vegetable bouillon squares into the pot with water or stock, and add meatballs, dumplings or potatoes. If you feel like it, you can add extra vegetables. But when the temperature is minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus 4°F) I don’t want to muck around in the kitchen, I want something easy, hearty and comforting.
