Rubbing the insides of fresh flash frozen trout with a teaspoon of caviar, anchovis paste, stuffed with a slice of lemon and some capers, smoked an hour on the grill, a special dinner served for a special Sunday guest. I use fish grills, they keep the insides of the fish from drying out when smoking.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
