		<title>Roasted Rabbit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This recipe first appears in the Dec 2011-Jan 2012 Seasonal Table column I write for Flavor Magazine. Rabbit is intimidating for many people. Sure, it’s not as available as chicken but a growing number of farms (who often raise poultry) offer rabbits in our area. You can also find them through custom butcher shops. On [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tenth Day of Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pitting cherries! 2011 was an outstanding cherry year here in Rappahannock, the kind we get every five years or so. Back in June, I made both sweet and sour cherry liqueur. They need to age with the fruit for 6 months or so. At bottling time, I was loath to just throw out the cherries [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Eighth &amp; Ninth Days of Christmas (Meyer Lemon Marmalade)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Still working through my citrus boxes. On the Eight Day, the Meyer lemons poached the previous night got squeezed, sliced, briefly simmered with sugar, and rested overnight again. It&#8217;s important that the rind softens as much as possible or the marmalade will have an unpleasant texture.. On the Ninth Day, it get boiled, jarred and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sixth and Seventh Days Of Christmas (more lemon recipes)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the Sixth Day of Christmas, with still over 7 pounds of Meyer lemons left from my citrus order orgy, I made Réunion Island Lemon and Onion Salad. In winter, I often hunger for bright spicy flavors to liven up the stews and braised dishes that are characteristics of this time of the year. Which [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Fourth and Fifth Days of Christmas (of Breads and Limes)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Fourth Day of Christmas was mostly spent cooking dinner for a group of hungry hunters, out for a pheasant shoot. It is the second time I have cooked for that group. It&#8217;s always a good thing when a client wants you back! On the menu: Alsatian Tarte Flambée and hot gulf shrimps with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Third Day of Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We make Meyer Lemon curd. Lots of it. It takes less than 30 minutes to make a quart of it, and since it freezes beautifully, you may as well make a few quarts&#8230; provided you have eggs and lemons. And we do. &#160; Although I am a proponent of eating locally for economical, environmental, philosophical [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mushroom and Spinach Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; This recipe was originally published in the Seasonal Table Column that I write for Flavor Magazine (Oct-Nov 2011 issue). As the weather cools off, spinach is happily growing for us again, a versatile green delicious raw or cooked. I love the earthy combination of spinach and mushrooms, in salads, stews or soups.
