I’m glad you enjoyed the Butternut Squash Soup! To thicken it without altering the taste, you could try blending in some extra cooked butternut squash or adding a bit of cream. Another option is to let it simmer longer to reduce and thicken. Happy cooking!

I really enjoy your recipes. I recently make your Butternut Squash soup. I followed the recipe exactly and we really liked it. However, it was a bit thin. Is there a way to make it thicker without ruining the taste? Thank you.

Hi there, Irish gal turned Floridian! So thrilled you stumbled upon the Cornish hen recipe for your Thanksgiving—it’s a real favorite. Delighted to hear you’ll be diving into more recipes and exploring the cookbooks. There are plenty of stories and flavors waiting for you. Happy Holidays and happy cooking!

Irish gal here-removed from New Jersey 30 years ago now a Floridian and Happy Holidays to you! 🙂 Just popped by to say I found your Cornish hen recipe and it’s perfect for our Thanksgiving holiday meal. Thanks so much. I’ll be checking your site out more and also look into your cookbooks. I love cookbooks to read about the chef or cook’s journeys that got them to their love of food and cooking…oh and also the recipes.

No reason, you can do it anytime, just make sure if you do them first, you might have to rebeat them a bit later, as they tend to leave some liquid at the bottom.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve enjoyed my recipes and have made them your own. Cooking is all about adapting and experimenting, so I’m thrilled you find my recipes flexible. Cheers to many more delicious meals! 🍴🇦🇺
