Catch Of The Day And A Little Plating Fun

No surf and turf here - this is all surf baby unless you count the potatoes and veggies as turf. Lately I have been experimenting with newer techniques to me and also trying to visualize plates differently than what is commonly seen. 

Experimenting with the techniques is the easy part but putting it on a plate is not.


I have a small assortment of fish here, I have a flounder roulade, a grilled salmon and a sesame crusted cod all cooked to their most juicy perfection.

My vegetables are green beans, a colorful carrot medley and both yukon gold and purple potatoes cooked in avocado oil with rosemary.

I plated everything up and garnished it with a little kiwi coulis and some sprigs of baby cilantro.


Simple foods cooked simply and plated elegantly can make all the difference in the world. Cooking With Color - I am certain it enhances the flavor.

inspiration, perspiration, infatuation and me

Lets not get confused here - it all does come back to me - in the land of Narcissus and his world of blogging we are all his disciples and that is where we get to the tuna.

This is black sesame seed crusted tuna with wasabi mayo and edamame thats about the extent of it. Now lets get back to me.

hot cakes, flap jacks, johnny cakes

Call these cakes what ever you want I call them good, cliche its true but you show me something better. Carb loading is what every athlete does before any big event. Carbs are good for you if you understand them.


We use carbs for our best ability.




Camelina seed pancakes, wild rice pancakes and sesame seed pancakes.


Serve the cakes up with some citrus syrup and you balanced the scale, you used carbs the right way.
