There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Untested - Rutabaga Paprika Soup

https://www.chowhound.com/recipes/smoked-paprika-and-rutabaga-bisque-11551

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
2 medium celery stalks, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 pounds rutabaga, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 4 1/4 cups)
4 cups (1 quart) low-sodium vegetable broth
2 cups half-and-half
2 1/2 teaspoons high-quality smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
In this winter soup we glorify the often-overlooked rutabaga. Simmered slowly and then blended with smoky paprika, this earthy root vegetable transforms into a velvety and irresistible bisque.
Beverage pairing: Royal Oak Pale Ale, England. Soft bubbles make for a nice contrast with a creamy bisque, while the modestly sweet malt of an ale will not offend the rutabaga. A light hoppy character in the beer adds complexity to the pairing without bringing in bitterness.
