A Personal Journey – Through Celtic Lands and Flavours

I love to cook. The kitchen is my therapist, my place of calm, the space where everything settles into its right rhythm. I’m not a professional chef — I’m an amateur in the truest, most sincere sense of the word. I cook only what I genuinely want to cook. I love good food, and perhaps because I was born by the Pacific and now live by the Atlantic, I cannot imagine my life without fish and seafood. I’m not a vegetarian — though I was for a couple of years — and I can easily live without meat or poultry. But I cannot imagine giving up the gifts of the sea. I created this space for you and for myself. A place to record and share my culinary experiments, my successes, my recipes, and the stories that come with them. I’m only just beginning this project, but in a way, I’ve been preparing for it all my life. I’ve worked here and there, done many things, but deep down I always wanted to be in the kitchen. That’s where I feel like a fish in water. So — let’s begin.

Here, in my seafood Collection, you’ll find the dishes I cook most often — the ones I prepare for myself, my family, and my friends. This page brings them together in a clear, organised way so you can explore them easily. The recipes are grouped into several categories: Soups, Main Courses, Starters, and Salads. As I continue exploring the Celtic world, I also highlight the origins of each dish — whether Breton, Cornish, Welsh, or Scottish. Each recipe has two parts: a recipe card with measurements, timings and the technical steps and a personal story explaining my choices of fish, herbs, spices, and the small discoveries behind each dish. My cooking evolves, therefore each recipe also includes My Notes — updates about new combinations I’ve tried, different fish I’ve experimented with, and what I’d like to explore next. I also plan to add special occasion menus — ideas for picnics, gatherings, parties, and simple meals that need a little spark. Alongside the main dishes, you’ll find side dishes, pickles, sauces, breads, and other small companions that complete a seafood meal.
