Brrrrr... this is soup weather! Time to tuck in with a big wooden spoon and a stock-pot; we're staying in this weekend! Perhaps a little onion tart to serve along side? And of course, a glass of Cahors. Here's the wrap-up of this week's recipes, and Jenny's wine suggestion.

• Italian Escarole Soup

• Alsatian Cottage Cheese Onion Tart

• The 21 Club’s Ultimate Lobster Cake

• 58 (at last count) Ways to Eat Cottage Cheese

• Technique for Caramelizing Sugar

Plus a slew of tasty bits from this week's New York Times.

This weekend's wine is the Georges Vigouroux Cahors, available in NYC at Beacon Wines, Union Square Wines and Spirits, Harlem Vintage, and even Fresh Direct.
