Loup de Mer

I was very surprised the first time I ran across Loup de Mer at the fish store. They had it labeled as Bronzino which is the Italian name, well one of them the Italians have different names for this fish according to what part of the country you are in. This fish has several names but the way they are marketing it now is Mediterranean or European Seabass. No matter what they call it it is a wonderful fish. It is a fish that needs little adornment, in fact if you were to ask Marcella Hazan she would inform you to simply poach it and serve it with mayonnaise. I can say I have to agree and especially the part about the mayonnaise.

Strawberry Banana Bread

What to do with over-ripe strawberries and bananas? Well, you could mash them up into yogurt, or you could turn them into a healthy bread for breakfast. I was inspired by recipes for yogurt pound cake and for the bran muffins I make regularly--and I think this was a success--it's moist and airy but not too sweet and chock full of good for you--strawberries, bananas, nuts, bran, wheat, oats.
