This recipe for Red and Black Cod creates a fabulous taste with a less expensive fish. The crispiness is a wonderful texture with a spicy flavor. Keep the recipe with a slightly picante or make it hot! Serve with a salad of greens or creamy spinach.
This is a wonderfully light dinner elegant enough to serve for family or guests. The Blackening Spice works on most other fish, on chicken and on roasted vegetables. Recipe is below.

After finding out her husband is unfaithful, cookbook writer Genna McGraw takes off for Paris for 6 months with a small advance from her publisher to write a cookbook with recipes paired with famous places, a “crossover cookbook/ guidebook,” such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre or Notre Dame Cathedral, which Genna pairs with a Tarte Aux Fraises.
The loves of author Carol Cram are evident, from her wonderful descriptions of art, food and, of course, Paris. What a perfect read for Valentine’s Day!
