As I promised in the original risotto post the possibilities are endless. Dungeness crab risotto is fresh, luxurious and indulgent dish.

Whole fish “La Rosetta”
This dish is my attempt to reverse engineer a recipe from the La Rosetta restaurant in Rome. Saal and I went there for the first time in 2008 on a recommendation from my friend Luben Dimcheff, and it was one of those meals you remember. We went back with Luben and my parents in September…
Miso glazed black cod with bok choy

Crab salad with avocado and grapefruit

Saffron tagliatelle with tomato, fennel, saffron sauce and pan fried shrimp
Making pasta at home is still new to me, and something I am learning. But this one turned out all right :).
