Myrna Loy’s Senegalaise Soup

myrna loy
“I think that carrying on a life that is meant to be private
in public is a breach of taste,
common sense, and mental hygiene.”
You could be right there Myrna. I had to take a post down this week as it upset someone dear to me so I guess I have to be a little more careful about what I share with the world on this blog. HOWEVER, it is lovely that when I posted how miserable I was the other day I got nice messages to cheer me up, so hurrah for the interweb!

Back to the point… Nazimova sent a grand and celebratory email to say that she’d made Myrna’s soup again at the weekend and “everyone loved it”. Her mum – visiting from Belgrade – said she could eat it every day and asked for the recipe! Naz suggests having the soup as a starter with liver and mash to follow, using the onion and apple bits Myrna says to discard to go with the liver. Genius!

I am very pleased that we have been pro-active about the Serbian cooking weekend and got a date in the diary. Naz’s mum speaks no English and I speak no Serbian so it’s going to rock!
