My vegetable garden looks like someone pushed the pause button. Nothing grows much once the soil gets cold, except for the Savoy cabbage. Even in Napa Valley, where we can't really complain about winter weather, soup sounds good. And with the garden making fewer demands, I have more time to cook. If bad weather has you housebound, braise some leeks, poach some pears. You'll make the whole house smell divine.
