4th of july cake. Stay hungry my friends. Nordljus: Roasted Wild Sea Bass Baked on a bed of Potatoes and Wild Mushrooms. Although there is no contest when it comes to the varieties of fish/shellfish we can get here in the UK compared to what I was used to in Japan, decent fish can be found here too – as long as you don’t mind searching off the beaten track. We can get locally caught wild sea bass on a good day and this dish (a recipe from Jamie Oliver’s old book) has been my favourite since I came here.

No mucking about, simply roast with mushrooms and potatoes – luckily I had some fresh wild mushrooms this time (I’m particularly partial to chanterelles and black trumpets), but you can use dried if fresh aren’t available. First, roast some sliced potatoes with a little olive oil in a baking tray for 15 minutes at about 220-230 Centigrade. Meanwhile, slash the fillets half way through their thickness and stuff the cuts with chopped herbs (basil, flat parsley, thyme etc). Fry mushrooms in a pan with a little chopped garlic and butter. Salsa Verde serves 4 Finely chop all the ingredients. The Infamous Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies. Now, I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I swear by. I love it, I think it is incredible, and I haven’t changed my mind about that. However, as much as it pains me to say it, these chocolate chip cookies by Jacques Torres are absolutely, without a doubt, the best chocolate chip cookies that I have ever made or tasted in my entire life.

I guess that’s why they call him Mr. Chocolate! These are a chocolate chip cookie of another color, that’s for sure. Either way, I made these and everyone that tried them went nuts.
