Bouillabaisse
You can always find the sun within yourself if you will only search.
~ Maxwell Maltz
The August selection for my Page 233 Cookbook Project was Bouillabaisse from The Cuisine of the Sun by Mireille Johnston from 1976. It is about French Cooking from the Nice and Provence regions of France. I love the Mediterranean flair of the recipes in this book.
Mireille writes, "Bouillabaisse is the noble 'golden soup' which embodies not only a whole region's ambience but a whole philosophy.", "The success of a good bouillabaisse depends on the contrast of flavors and textures." and "Bouillabaisse means 'to boil at top speed' so that the olive oil becomes slightly emulsified."
Bouillabaisse can be served as a soup or stew or it can be served over a larger piece of fish on a plate. It is a recipe with a lot of flexibility. The blend of sweet and salty prepared with olive oil is delicious. I used an olive oil that has an infusion of Meyer Lemon. I often use it for fresh pasta with seafood and it worked well for this recipe.
Bouillabaisse is something I will make again!
