Description

The French are true gourmets and have enriched the world with their culinary art. But sometimes you can be put off by their attitude. For example, when they claim that only people from Marseille can prepare a real bouillabaisse.

How refreshing are the Russian recipes on the other hand. This fish soup has no technical requirements and can be prepared by any chef. Mussels and fish unite in a delicious yet simple way in a clear soup with vegetables. This type of preparation brings out the natural aroma of the ingredients to their full advantage.

It is important that you take fresh fish for your ucha and brush off the mussels well before cooking removing all traces of the so-called beard.
