Thanks so much for getting back to me on this, Sabrina. The dash of pepper and cumin sound delicious. I gave mine a generous sprinkling of cilantro. And you’re right. It’s perfect for cold weather.

It’s suddenly gotten cold in the East Coast and tried to make this soup tonight. Turned out lovely! I sprinkled some freshly ground pepper and cumin right before serving to give it a little ummphh Loved the color, the warmth and the flavor. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Sabrina

Sophie, if you try this, I’d love to hear what you think. I loved it with a bit of cilantro sprinkled on top.

Cheryl, it’s not so cut and dried, but ginger has heat and is a strong flavour. Super-tasters tend to like delicate flavours and are far more sensitive to spicy-hot foods. It’s a scale and no two people have the same palate, but it’s likely you dislike ginger for the very reasons I embrace it.

You don’t need strips to test what type of taster you are. In five questions it was clear Andrew’s a non-taster (which is a horrid term and inaccurate), I’m a medium-taster and half my family are non-tasters. Try to plan a gathering around THAT? Anyway, here is a quiz that can give you a pretty good idea of what type of taster you are in a few minutes: http://christiescorner.com/2008/12/04/well-balanced-a-quiz-are-you-a-taster-non-taster-or-super-taster/

Thanks Dana. I’m surprised I’ve never tried the cauliflower and sweet potato combo before. Now I’m hooked.

I knew it would be too spicy for you, but if you try it, please, please, please, don’t use plain old curry powder. Your food snob sister couldn’t take it. I have some curry plant you can try.

Ginger is tough for a super taster? Having just failed/passed the super taster test (Oh, I SO am) I wonder if this is why I’m not a huge ginger fan. I’m waiting for some extra strips and will be testing the rest of the family as soon as I get them.

PS I have that book now and am still overwhelmed by Indian cooking. Soon, soon.

Totally was going to say what Cheryl said – super smart combo! Love the colour combo in your photo, too.
