A resident of the Stockade for 14 years, I created this recipe long ago for a gentleman whose teenage children did NOT like fish! Knowing the boys liked everything else in this dish, I invited them over for dinner and a movie, with the promise that if they tried this and didn't like it, we'd get a pizza. They each had three helpings, and raved about it to their friends, which is how it became Jamie's ""Famous"" Fish Dish!
Cut fish into bite-size pieces.
Saute onions and garlic in 2 TBSP oil plus one TBSP soy sauce until onions are soft. Add thyme, chervil, bell pepper, lemon juice and a TBSP butter. When onion is translucent and flavors have blended, add fish, mushrooms and tomatoes (if using fresh tomato chop coarsely and add to pot along with it's juices). Stir to combine, and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook covered for 6 minutes. Remove cover add basil, pepper, wine and one more TBSP soy sauce if desired. Stir on medium high heat for a minute and taste. If desired add more soy sauce, lemon or pepper. Enjoy! "

Loaf of crusty European-style bread
4 Whole Organic Eggs
1 C Whole Milk
1½ T Packed Brown Sugar
½ t Freshly Grated Orange Rind
½ t Pure Almond Extract
Dash of Sea Salt
Organic Butter for frying
Confectioners Sugar (for dusting)
Pure Maple Syrup
Optional:
Brown Sugar,
Orange rind,
almond extract
salt
When preparing this recipe at the café, we never properly measured the ingredients, this being said, the brown sugar, orange rind, almond extract, and salt may be added “to taste".
Combine the eggs, milk, brown sugar, orange rind, almond extract, and salt in a medium-size bowl and whisk with a dinner fork until evenly combined.
Slice the bread into 1” thick pieces (the size of your bread will dictate how many slices per person will be needed).
Heat a large skillet or electric griddle to medium. Place an ample amount of butter onto hot surface and evenly distribute. Meanwhile, using your fingers, dip the bread into the batter (making sure to wipe excess batter off) and place in pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Place on serving plates, dust with confectioner’s sugar, and serve with warm maple syrup. ","A weekend breakfast favorite at Café 1795, the origin of this “French toast” recipe dates back to ancient Rome-hence the name. Although we used our house-baked ciabatta, any quality, hand-sliced, European country bread will work well. For a more substantial meal serve along with fresh fruit salad or berries.
This recipe may be doubled or tripled as needed.

A twist on the traditional shrimp cocktail, I serve platters of these at parties. They’re also great right off the grill, served over a garden salad or steaming hot polenta. This marinade also complements chicken.
