I really enjoy reading your recipes Jean-Robert, they've given me inspiration to think outside the square and take on some new challenges. In fact Im really looking forward to Christmas day, where I have set a challenge for my wife and I to cook four entrees each, which gives us range to a wide array of fresh and local produce with very different tastes, textures and philosophies. Thank you for your posts.
