Les couteaux sont de retour – Couteaux farcis aux herbes et zestes de citron
These razor clams remind me of my childhood with my grandmother on a beach on the Adriatic. We used to find those inside the sand and pick them to bring home. It’s been so hard to find them in the stores in the US, and [...]

Timbale de purée de brocoli, épinards et saumon fumé, sauce aneth
I had some broccoli that I needed to use, and I did not feel like eating them in pieces, so I figured if I made purée, what else could I combine them with. One thing led to one other and one thought led to one other, so here it is, [...]
