FISH A LA MINUTE

In home cooking, à la minute refers to a recipe that can be made in a flash, and this recipe is a fine example. Fish à la minute is a gratifying way to cook fresh fish filets in a one-pot fashion without sacrificing taste. Use any fish with a flaky texture (e.g., cod, halibut or seabass) and bake in the winning combination of shallots, white vermouth, white wine, parsley and olive oil with a sprinkle of bread crumbs. It’s the answer to those long days where you need something fast but tasty.

LE POULET A La BIERE

Known as Coq à la Bière, this dish is typically made with rooster in France, which is hard to come by these days. Therefore, I recommend using a high-quality chicken as a substitute. Coq à la Bière is the North's response to the famous Coq au Vin, with beer taking center stage instead of wine. To ensure a perfect result, it's essential to use a fine-quality amber Belgian beer, infusing the dish with a distinctive malty flavor and a rich color that sets it apart from the traditional Coq au Vin.

It's as simple as that and incredibly effective. Velouté sauces offer versatility, as you can use various cooking stocks to impart specific flavors. Chicken stock yields a chicken velouté, fish stock results in a fish velouté, and so forth.
