Sunday Cooking Time

Went for the all-fish cookbook by Yoko Arimoto last night that called for kinmedai.  I picked this up at the supermarket.

I love the pinkish red of kinmedai. Very pretty.

Simmering would be about the best way to have the fish if not as sashimi.

So glad my supermarket had this small-portion kinome pack. They are the leaves of Japanese pepper that when cupped between hands and clapped with a popping sound (as wikipedia explains), they bring out a very nice aroma.

The fish was great and I kind of liked it that my embroidered luncheon mat from Marrakesh, Morocco, a dish from Arita which I actually bought in Arita having gone to the annual ceramics fair some years ago, and the kinome seem to match in design so much. 😀
