Algerian lamb stew
This is a recipe that I have been cooking for 20 yrs. There is nothing better on a cold winter day than a hearty stew cooked in the Bulgarian earthen pot.
Scallops with English peas purée and porcini mushrooms

Hamachi crudo
This is a very quick and easy appetizer that is a great crowd pleaser. The slight difficulty is finding sashimi-grade hamachi (yellow-tail tuna). In San Francisco, my go-to fish monger is Billingsgate.

I learned from her that the California Dungeness crab season is during the “r” months: November to April.
