Those who read my blog on a regular basis know that I prefer eating whole fish rather than fillets. This preference is not an inflexible rule and nor does it mean that one cannot enjoy a fish fillet. Today’s dish features a fillet sliced off of a whole sea bream (porgy). The main reason why [...]
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting the Three Greek Sisters. Born & raised in Toronto’s Greektown (The Danforth), these ladies have just released a self-published cookbook, “Around the Greek Table”.
