Good morning faithful readers – actually, you occasional readers are every bit as welcome. We have a request from Lucie Poire for monkfish wrapped in bacon and baked “or any other fish, for that matter. I was served a delicious rolled filet of monkfish stuffed and then wrapped in bacon. Would like to experiment with different stuffings for baked fish, too. Especially wrapped in bacon.”

Ms. Poire would also like some ideas for using finishing salts of various kinds, “and tell me where they may be bought locally. They are delicious, just a few flecks on the top of any dish almost.” (See her cookie recommendation in Just a Dash below.)

And there also is a repeat request for details of the “sous vide” method of cooking.
