Barton gave us an inspiring lecture about food and cooking, and the importance of the quality of the ingredients we use and our relationship to them. The public (including us), fell in love with his charisma instantly. His speech was short because he was leaving that afternoon for an Arctic expedition with Nat Geo, so this modern Indiana Jones –very cool and handsome-, told us in just a few words about his own experience with sustainable ingredients, -with different types of fish in particular-, and how to cook them. The book was sold out.
This sturdy dish makes me sleepy, so it´s perfect for this gray and rainy day. I will stay indoors, and enjoy all its benefits, while listening to my new Pink Martini album.

Wow! As always, your dish looks amazing! This soup looks very tasty indeed – it looks like a winner! Thanks for posting such wonderful recipes here!
Aguadito de pescado, te ves delicioso. Muy pronto estare preparandote en mi cocina y deleitando a mi familia con tu esplendido sabor 🙂
it looks good i wonder if i could replace the fish with chicken (i don’t eat fish)
You can make this aguadito with chicken (follow the recipe for arroz con pollo), scallops or duck. At home we used to make a vegetarian version for my daughter, sometimes bursting with veggies, and every now and then with soy meat, and I tell you, it´s delicious.
what an interesting dish! all that coriander. Que rico! 🙂 🙂 I’m telling you. I’m falling in love more and more with your food!
