Let it cook until golden brown (it will take only a few seconds), then turn the crepe and cook the other side the same way.

Baked Goat Cheese Salad ½ cup milk 1 egg 4 disks (rounds) goat cheese (each about 3½ oz) 1/3 cup all purpose flour 1 cup white bread crumbs 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 375°F. Beat together the milk and the eggs in a small bowl. Coat each disk (round) of goat cheese by rolling first in the flour, then dipping in the egg mixture and then coating with the bread crumbs. Melt the butter in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the goat cheese disks for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides. Remove from heat and place the rounds on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese is warmed through. Remove the goat cheese from the oven and place one round in the centre of each salad. Drizzle with the dressing.

The Emery Cookbook

Salad Dressing 3 tbsp oil 2 cloves garlic ¼ raspberry vinegar 1/3 cup soda water 1 tsp salt 1 tsp Keen’s dry mustard

The Emery Cookbook

Carrot Soup 2-3 cooking onions 1 tbsp olive or canola oil 1.5 lb carrots (about 10 small/med or 5 large) butternut squash 1 can (28 oz) tomatoes (pureed, chopped, or whole) 8 cups water 1 tsp salt or less, to taste 2 tbsp up to ¼ cup fresh rosemary, chopped (if dried, “a pinch” or to taste)

Sauté onions in oil until caramelized. Meanwhile, peel and chop carrots into about 1-inch pieces; peel squash and cut into similar pieces (microwaving the whole squash for a minute or two makes it much easier to peel and chop). Add carrots, squash, tomatoes, water, salt, and rosemary to the onions. Cover and simmer until vegetables are very soft, about an hour. Let cool till easy to handle safely. Puree in a blender in batches till smooth, using enough of the soup liquid each time to keep the blades spinning easily.
