acqua pazza

I cooked acqua pazza with fillet of red perch and cod from the fishermen at the farmer's market. Ocean perch looks like red snapper and stays firm even after you stew it. But you need cod or some other seafood to add more flavor to the soup.

bean salad

When I was a high school student, I always looked forward to having lunch at an Italian restaurant at the basement of Daimaru department store after shopping. It was not exactly a restaurant, it was a Italian deli counter, where you can buy antipasta and something like that.

Their dishes were very delicate and sophisticated, especially I loved their white bean salad appetizer.

It was very new to me to eat beans as a salad. My mom cooked beans as "nimame" -japanese sweet stewed beans or tomato stewed beans. And I did not like either of them so much.

Since then, I always remember the nice feeling of having lunch with my mom and excitement of finding new dish whenever I make bean salad.
