California Farm Fish Stew Bouillabaise
Now that excellent fish stock can be made from shrimp bouillion cubes, I no longer simmer whole fish overnight. The shrimp bouillion is used to make soup from braised tomatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, potato, fennel, saffron, herbs, all fresh from the garden. Just before serving, frozen white fish, frozen cooked mussels and frozen raw shrimp are added. Served with Sour dough bread with a special sauce called rouille. Follow this 12 pint recipe even if you cook for only two people, so you have all ingredients in each pint portion for freezing.

California Farm Old Fashioned Hen Stew California Farm Old Fashioned Hen Stew
This old family recipe starts with: “ kill and pluck a large old hen”. It is probably the oldest recipe I have. My grandfather taught me to butcher chickens humanely, we hypnotize them first till they fall asleep and then butcher. This recipe is for a whole large chicken, seven pounds. If your store does not have large old hens, ask for a large capon. You can also cut this recipe in half, or use two frozen young chickens and add one chicken bouillion cube per cup of liquid to imitate the strong old hen flavor.The chicken flavor should permeate the whole stew, potatoes, rice, beans and cabbage included.#oldfashioned

Had this soup at my fav French restaurant in Windsor for many years until they closed. This is nothing like the technique the chef there used, but the flavors are pretty close! This can also be done in the slow cooker on high (w/ all ingredients EXCEPT) seafood for 4 hrs, adding the seafood in the last 30 min on high.
