General kitchen advice

Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.


Microwave Tip : Microwave ovens use around 50 percent less energy than conventional ovens; they're most efficient for small portions or defrosting. For large meals, stovetop cooking is usually more efficient


Kitchen Tip : Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air or found by the pan handle! A 6-inch pan on an 8-inch burner will waste over 40 percent of the energy.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 x Fish Fume *

1 x Crayfish Tail Salad *

------------------------------WHITE WINE SAUCE------------------------------ 2 tb Butter

3 ea Shallots, chopped

3 lg Mushrooms, chopped

1 c Wine, white

2 c Fish Fume *

1 c Cream, heavy

Salt Pepper ------------------------------------FISH------------------------------------ 2 lb Salmon, filet

2 tb Butter

* See Fish Fume, and Crayfish Tail Salad recipe. White Wine Sauce: ================= In a saute pan heat the butter, then add the shallots, and mushrooms. Cook briefly for about two minutes. Add the wine and 1 cup of fish fume, cook about 5 minutes more. Add cream to thicken (sauce should be more white than gray). Reduce for 20 minutes, then strain through chinois. Reduce again for 3 - 4 minutes more. Sauce should be thick enough to coat a spoon. Whip, add salt and pepper and reserve. Fish: ===== Slice the salmon from the boned fish at an angle, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Pound the filets thin under a dampened plastic paper and store in parchment paper until ready to cook. Salt the salmon lightly inside and out. In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is hot, take the pan off the heat, place the salmon in the pan, return the pan to heat, and cook briefly (three to four minutes.) Remove from heat, turn once, and place back on the heat. Cook for three or four minutes more. Take the pan off of the heat and turn the salmon one last time for the "cool side" to absorb some of the juices. To serve, spoon sauce into a pool on a serving plate, place salad in center of the plate, and arrange salmon on the salad. Garnish with red basil leaves.
