  1. This is a great basic recipe to "jump off" of with all kinds of fun ingredients. I definitely favor the vegetable broth and leeks. To de-skin salmon quickly and easily: put a little oil in a non-sick skillet and heat on medium high. Put the salmon filet in the skillet SKIN SIDE DOWN. Cook for about 30 seconds without disturbing. Flip filet over or onto a plate. Using a your hands and a paper towel or a set of tongs, peel the skin right off. (Careful, it's hot.) It should peel off easily. If it is still firmly attached, put it back in for another 30 seconds. Don't cook it too long or the scales will fall off everywhere. After you do one you will get a feel for how long it takes. Never wrestle the skin off again!
     
  2. I added carrots, celery, fresh green beans, cilantro, and scallions to this recipe and it was delish. I also used veggie broth instead of the chicken because I don't eat meat aside from fish .. made for a delish soup!
     
  3. Great simple soup - I used marinated salmon as that's what I had, 1 litre of broth, and 1/2 ts cayenne. Made for a lovely light dinner! Thank you MsPia!
     
  4. Delicious and easy! Even my 6 and 3 year old ate some. I will reduce cayenne next time due to their tastes- a keeper!

I'm lucky to have had two amazing grandmothers with a passion for cooking.My Nona was from the north of Italy and Lolo was from Spain. Lolo used to make pickle fish. You would think that is a kids worst nightmare, but it was fabulous. I would kill for that recipe.My mother was also a wonderful cook. I grew up eating the most amazing food; her lasagna and Bolognese sauce are out of this world. I am originally from Argentina and living in Colorado for the past 25 years. As you can imagine, I love to cook, eat and entertain. I read cookbooks like novels. There is nothing that I enjoy more than traveling. I love the challenge of a new culture and a foreign language. Of course all my traveling is culinary oriented. Eventually I would love to move to Italy. Italians, in my opinion, have the perfect life style; Hard work in the morning, good food for lunch, nice siesta and out for a "giro" (go for a round) in the afternoons to visit with your friends over a cup of coffee. My daughter is a great baker; she has a natural talent for it. We can make the exact same recipe and hers ALWAYS tastes much better. My favorite products are seasonal, organic and fresh; I stay away from cans and pre-mixed stuff. I'm a proud member of the Slow Food movement. www.slowfood.com
