CRABMEAT BISQUE MADE EASY
This is not a thick soup, yet it is creamy and so smooth to the palette. The aroma when cooking makes you want some before the potatoes are soft. I have made modifications due to allergy to corn (such as rice flour). I allow mine to slow-simmer with lid slightly ajar. Stir often so the film does not form on top. I have doubled my batch and still never have any for the freezer.

BASQUE CAKE WITH CHERRY PRESERVES
Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch cake pan or spring-form pan. In a mixer with a whip attachment, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Sift the cake flour, salt, and baking powder together and use a rubber spatula to fold the dry ingredients into this butter mixture until a soft dough forms and no white streaks of flour remain. Spread half the batter evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Stir the almond extract into the cherry preserves. Spoon the cherry preserves over the batter, spreading it within 2 inches of the border.
- Drop the remaining batter by large spoonfuls or pipe it with a plain tip over the preserves. Spread the batter carefully over the jam to the edge of the pan. Sprinkle with sliced almonds, if using.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a bamboo skewer inserted into the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Unmold the cake and dust with confectioners' sugar.
CREAM OF CELERY SOUP
Steps:
- Saute the onions, leeks, and celery: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a thick-bottomed 4 to 5 quart pot on medium heat. Add the chopped onion, leeks, and 5 cups of the chopped celery. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute more.
- Add the stock, bay leaves, and salt, then simmer: Add the chicken stock and bay leaves to the pot. Taste for salt and add salt. (If you are using unsalted butter and unsalted stock, you will need to add more salt than you expect. If not, maybe just a little salt will be needed.) Increase the heat to bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and cover to maintain a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Braise the remaining celery to soften: While the soup is simmering, prepare the extra celery that will be added later to the soup. In a separate small saute pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups diced celery to the butter. Ladle 1/2 cup of the simmering stock from the soup pot into the saute pan. Simmer on low for 5 or 6 minutes to soften the celery. Set aside.
- Puree the soup: Remove the soup pot from the heat, and let cool slightly. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup in a stand blender in batches. Fill the blender no more than a third full at a time (keep your hand on the lid so the hot liquid doesn't explode). Return the pureed soup to the pot.
- Stir in the cream and the braised diced celery: Taste for salt and add more if needed. Serve hot, sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper and garnished with chopped chives or parsley.
