It has been a while since I have made a soup for the blog, so here we are, roasted cauliflower and leek soup. A very comforting dish but with light, subtle ingredients. And that is why I roasted the cauliflower first instead of just boiling it. I wanted to try and achieve another dynamic of…

Polenta Coated Fish with Dressed Potatoes

July 9, 2017 by Nicolas 6 Comments

Sour cream sauce and peeled cucumber on polenta coated fish and potatoes.

This polenta coated fish recipe is inspired by the restaurant “Threecoins Italian Trattoria”. Why?
