mussels

A memorable island dinner with plump mussels, briny clams, and warm flaky biscuits and sweet blueberry squares for dessert.

I recently set out to make the most complicated meal in my culinary adventures. I would be lying if I claimed it was extravagant, but it certainly was a challenge.

I’m cooking my way through Chatelaine’s cookbook and at recipe #33, Mussels with fennel, I ruined my first pot of the year. I was hoping to make it through one entire season before having to replace an item of cookware, but at least I made it to Daylight Savings Time. Sigh. And the charred sauce undoubtedly altered the taste of the meal which I’m sure would have been extremely tasty.
