Semplicemente deliziosi – Spaghetti alla bottarga
Bottarga is called mullet roe in English or boutargue in French and is popular in some Mediterranean countries. It is basically the eggs of the mullet fish that have been salted and dried, then preserved in wax. I think in Italy, Sardinia is the [...]

Saumon en feuilles de blettes, purée de chou-fleur, fondue de légumes et jus d’estragon
Here is a Sunday lunch that gave me some punch (en plus ca rime) – I have not eaten salmon in a long time, probably because I find salmon a little boring to be honest. Maybe when a product becomes easy to find, [...]
Real or Fake? Salt cod brandade on marinated zucchini ribbons

Vraie ou fausse? Brandade de morue sur lit de courgettes marinées
I have been wanting to eat this for a long time, but salt cod is not always easy to find and not all the stores carry it. Fortunately Berkeley Bowl does…unfortunately it’s not of a great quality. I am used of thick and very dry [...]

J’aurais aimé savoir nager – Nage d’opah avec fèves et carottes
Opah or moonfish is found in Hawaii and has a fatty flesh, somehow like tuna and salmon. It’s a unique fish due to its flat and round shape and color. I really like its texture and you can prepare like you would any fish with that [...]

Une salade Niçoise pas comme les autres – Salade niçoise avec brochette de saumon grillé, et tartine de tapenade à l’oeuf poché
When you eat out, salades niçoises are always more or less the same, with minor variations from one restaurant to another…and often a little on the boring side. So after a [...]

Life is full of contrasts – Lentil and marinated smoked salmon salad

La vie est pleine de contrastes – Salade de lentilles et saumon fumé
It’s quite a fun way to eat lentils…lentils are very versatile and I think not popular enough especially since they’re highly nutritious. I have rarely seen them in restaurants other than in soups. In France they’re considered [...]
It tastes like fall – Salmon with white grapes

Ca sent l’automne – Saumon aux raisins blancs
Grapes for me is the fruit that symbolizes fall, probably because of the harvesting of the grapes in France (vendanges). Today, I wanted to feature a very simple French dish using grapes and combined with salmon, and this one turned out much better [...]

Rillettes de la mer – Rillettes de maquereau fumé sur blinis de pommes de terre au cumin
It’s been a while I ate mackerel…it’s one of those things you tend to forget it exists until you see it at the store. In France mackerel is a quite consumed fish, we eat it fresh and grilled, it’s [...]
