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.

BRIOCHE

Unlike the croissant, making your own brioche can be easy. So easy in fact, it’s pretty hard to fail provided you follow these simple steps. The result is a buttery, golden brioche with a thin crust and the texture of a fluffy cloud on the inside. Satisfaction guaranteed.
