Each Valentine\u2019s Day,\u00a0 WWT makes an entire meal\u2013from appetizers to dessert\u2013using carrots.\u00a0 This year he kept my classic carrot pudding, but there were many new recipes, too. The celebration wouldn\u2019t have been the same without N.The cocktail was a mistic orange-carrot cocktail<\/a> with vodka. Secret recipe, I guess, but what a pretty color. Not too sweet, but just right.<\/p>\n

The Creamy Carrot Soup with Scallions and Poppy Seeds<\/a> from Food and Wine 2010 was such a lovely shade of orange, too. He had it made up in advance, and we just re-heated and added some cream. (But it was fine without the cream, and I even made some chicken black bean soup with the leftovers later in the week).<\/p>\n

NC N suggested the\u00a0 Prosciutto and Carrot Bundles<\/a>, and oh, the basil and the marinated carrots were so fresh.<\/p>\n

The main event: Carrot Macaroni and Cheese<\/a> (also Food & Wine), with some changes: turkey sausage (about 1 cup) and gorgonzola and gruyere.<\/p>\n

Beat eggs. Add sugar and milk and blend. Add remaining ingredients and mix. Pour into buttered baking dish and bake at 325 degrees for one hour or until firm.<\/p>\n

If you use a bigger pan, it does change the texture.<\/p>\n
