    Vianne’s Potato & Lardon Soup

    February 17, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Rich and filling, this soup will comfort the soul and it’s also pretty enough for serving company during cool weather. It’s also vegetarian friendly. For potato without lardon soup, just substitute the bacon grease with olive oil and use a vegetable stock.  Ingredients 1 lb bacon, sliced 1 cup celery, diced 2 leeks, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2.5 lbs potatoes, cubed 4-6 cups chicken stock 1 tsp white pepper 2 tsp garlic salt 1 tsp onion powder 2 tsp chicken bouillon 3 Tbsp butter 1/4 cup flour 1 cup heavy cream 2 tsp dried tarragon 3 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, sliced cheddar, shredded I made this in…

    About Me

    February 10, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Hi friends!! I’m Jenni, The Nerdy Gourmet. I love books and I love food. Combining the two with a splash of travel has become my passion. I am a self taught cook/baker and I believe that everyone can cook from scratch! I’m here with recipes and Nerdy Tips to help along the way.   I review books, mostly ‘read’ via audio, and I create recipes inspired by the story lines. Sometimes if I am deeply moved by a story, I will travel and try my best to experience the book- and bring you along via my blog! I provide all the photographs and content for the Nerdy Gourmet (unless otherwise noted). …

Whatever shall we do after reading the Bridgerton Whatever shall we do after reading the Bridgerton series?? ⠀
⠀
I have an answer, my friends: Edie Cay. ⠀
Three words- Feminist 👏 Regency 👏 Romance 👏 ⠀
⠀
When @authorediecay reached out to me to request a cocktail creation for her new book, The Boxer and The Blacksmith, I was flattered. But after reading the book, I was honored. ⠀
⠀
✨✨(Win two copies now- one for you and one for a friend!! Check out my last post to enter the giveaway through today, 1/14.)✨✨⠀
⠀
Now for the cocktail deets. Gin, club soda, honey and charred orange simple syrup and a purple iced tea cube. ⠀
⠀
All of the heat and smoke of a blacksmith with the knockout punch of a boxer. 🥃 This complex yet simply delicious cocktail is a wonderful accomplice to Edie Cay’s Feminist Regency Romance, The Boxer and The Blacksmith. I highly recommend both! ⠀

Daisy Jones and the Six ~ A Rockin Good Time⠀
⠀
Is @tjenkinsreid Janice Joplin reincarnated? How does she come up with this realistic to the bone, all encompassing look into rock stars’ lives? And not just one but 7 of them?!? I absolutely loved Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones rocked. I bow to the talent that oozes out of TJR and she will always be an automatic buy for me. ⠀
⠀
PS. I very highly recommend listening to this book on audio. The star-studded cast of narrators includes Jennifer Beals and Benjamin Bratt 🤩⠀
⠀
Also, stay tuned. Thanks to @librariana_ I am now aware of a peanut butter whiskey 🥃 that will compliment Daisy Jones perfectly. 🔥⠀
