Orzotto, quasi come un risotto – Orzo allo zafferano e calamari It looks like I am on some seafood addiction lately, I understand it can get boring for people not fond of seafood.

La jalousie du saumon – Saumon à l’orange sur fenouil braisé The salmon got a little jealous and was raving to be coated with a citrusy orange sauce too, because he thought that not only canard can be made “à l’orange”, he was the perfect candidate for the title too…and he was.
