What a nice question. I think books, the weather, the pickings at the market, my stomach, baby girl's stomach, something I saw in a window, something I glimpsed on a menu - these all influence my cooking mood. My mood changes daily, hourly, by the minute! I feel lucky when all the stars aline and I make something that suits me and my mood and my family's mood and we're all delighted to sit at the table together and eat.

Even the carrots look amazing! I love that you ...

Sophia, thank you! And yes it is rich and intense and oh so wonderful to eat during the winter.
