Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.
Wash, peel and cut 2 carrots and 2 turnips into small sticks (julienne).
Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.
Wash 100 g mange-tout peas.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.
Cut into small pieces.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 20 min.
Prepare ½ green cabbage, raw.
Stage 5 - ⌛ 15 min.
In a large pan boil about 2 litres water, add 2 tablespoons coarse salt.
Stage 6 - ⌛ 3 min.
Put in carrots, bring back to the boil, and cook for about 2 or 3 minutes until the sticks are soft.
Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.
Remove carrots from boiling water, and put them in cold water.
Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.
When they have cooled completely, drain and set aside.
Stage 9 - ⌛ 25 min.
Continue like this for all the vegetables, without changing cooking water, which is becoming the vegetable stock for cooking the fish.
Set vegetables aside.
Set vegetables aside.
Stage 10 - ⌛ 3 min.
Wash 1 piece Fish, it's not necessary to remove skin and bones now, that will be much easier when fish is cooked.
Stage 11 - ⌛ 40 min.
Put fish into the vegetables broth, over a low heat.
Cook gently, without boiling, just barely simmering, until it becomes opaque (about 40 minutes).
A better method: cook until internal temperature reaches 70°C or 158°F (an electronic thermometer is useful). Once at this temperature, the fish is cooked, and longer or hotter cooking serves no purpose.

Macarons (the original French macaroons)
This recipe really is "of the moment": the success of these small, highly-coloured cakes, in an infinite variety of flavours, is impressive. It's a recipe which needs some care, in order to produce a result worthy of a professional pastrychef. No problem, I will guide you through the recipe, particularly the tricky parts. This variety of flavours means that I test many alternatives, so don't be surprised if in the pictures the colour of the macarons changes, I used the best photograph available...

How to prepare tomatoes
Yes, I know you will say to me: why peel tomatoes? The answer is very simple: it's much better, gives a better texture, softer in the mouth. The skin is tough, adds nothing to the taste (and you will have noticed that commercial tomatoes have practically no taste), and finally it's there (on/under the skin) that the awful chemical products that the fruit receive during growth, are concentrated (treatments, pesticides, etc...).
