Recipes: Donna & Co. Artisanal Chocolates’ Diane Pinder’s Bouillabaisse
Donna & Co. Artisanal Chocolates‘ owner/chocolatier Diane Pinder: Before I became a chocolatier I use to think I would open an Italian seafood restaurant. Years ago, I was an avid fisherperson. I would go to Cape Cod to catch cod, flounder and pollock. I would go deep-sea fishing for whiting in the middle of the winter. I could expertly filet and skin my fish.
One of my best recipes is the one I make on Christmas Eve, a bouillabaisse. Every time you reheat it, the flavor gets better and better. And it is the best for dipping bread into the sauce. It is one of those recipes that you just throw everything into the pot and taste every once in a while to tweak the flavor. Enjoy my Christmas Eve Bouillabaisse!
