Impressively big serving of fennel soup, with good fennel flavour, and minute shreds and bits of fennel. Not as technically adroit as The Ambassador nearby (where I loved their silky cauliflower soup), but certainly more hearty. A...

cut the (uncooked) fennel very thinly on my mandoline, then tossed it with olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper, and used the fronds as garnish. Very tangy and fresh—had it with fish.

Not only does wild fennel grow in California, it’s a freaking weed! When Spago first opened, many grilled things were garnished with fronds harvested from a plant that popped up unbidden through a crack in the parking lot.

We’re having a couple over for dinner tomorrow, and I still have quite a few ingredients from a trip to Corrado’s last weekend. In particular, I have two endives, two heads of fennel, a roasting chicken I salted on...

Roast some sliced fennel and potatoes. Season the filets with salt and pepper and place on top of the vegetables for the last 10 minutes or so. Garnish with fennel fronds and serve with lemon wedges and a cruet of olive oil....

Perfume (masquerading as oil btw) but they did not put too much on top as garnish. it is rare that chefs are brave enough to use salsify as an entire ingredient so I had to taste it. The garnish was fennel pollen—-an...

I’ve been eating radish greens lately. I cook them with olive oil and garlic as I would other greens. And I often see recipes that call for using the feathery fennel leaves as a garnish. The issue of carrot tops has been...

've ever eaten. The hamachi had a wonderful melting texture, and was paired with an odd-sounding but delicious foam/sauce of cavaillon melon, hon-shimeji mushrooms and ginger. My fiance chose the sashimi-tuna starter, which had a...

Had a Morrocan Bloody Mary at Marseille with brunch the other day – among other things, it was seasoned with cumin and fennel, and kicked up with harissa. Garnish was celery and speared olive & grape tomato. Very tasty.

with sour cream ginger garnish; mussels steamed with fennel shards (my choice-yum) My husband ate light, and had two salads in addition to the soup; I couldn’t pick up or remember all the ingredients, but I sure enjoyed...
