Break Attack and Something Different

"A" graced us with her spectacular cooking this past Monday.  As well, we learned a little secret about "J".

"A" started out with some unbelievably fresh sea bass.

Risotto getting toasted.

After it toasts, stock and seasons get added.

The sea bass get browned on the stove-top.

A mixture of panko breadcrumbs and almond slivers get toasted.  The fish will take a dip in this, for a crunchy exterior.

"A" finished the dish with a fresh mango salsa which included red pepper, red onion and mint.  Delish!

"J's" new secret?  He's found a new affair with bread-making.  As you know, as loyal readers, he's always loved making homemade doughs (for bread, pizza, etc.).  But, he's learning so much more!  Look at this beauty!

How brown the crust is?  It's perfect.  Crunchy exterior, soft interior.  Inside we found walnuts and cranberry's.

Nothing a little homemade butter couldn't made EVEN better!

Toasted up, homemade butter and a drizzle of honey?  Now that's the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner.

For something different JAK is going to be hitting the town.  Trying out new restaurants, again, and reporting back.  Stay tuned.

Until next time.....A la cuisine!
