Recipe: make a deliciously fresh ceviche with sea bream

Eating responsibly is becoming increasingly important. And with very small adjustments, such as using seasonal products, this can be achieved. In the cookbook Five Seasons Jonathan Zandbergen of Restaurant Merlet* takes you through the culinary seasons and adds a fifth: early summer. Five seasons, each with different dishes where the ingredients truly shine. When are the ingredients at their best and when are they available? Those who have known me for a while know that ceviche is one of my favorite dishes. Delicious to share, to eat as an appetizer, and now you can even make it at home with the recipe below. Happy cooking!

Come with me to get breakfast in Taipei 🥢

Straight from the airport to this little place to taste soup dumplings and so much more! That's what I call a soft landing 😉 <3

In Taipei, you go to a Soy Milk Shop for breakfast. Warm soy milk to eat in a bowl, and steam baskets with the tastiest dumplings and baozi. You can really wake me up for this kind of breakfast. These local breakfast spots come in all shapes and sizes, from Michelin-recommended spots to hole-in-the-wall stalls.

Most soy milk shops open early (and sometimes even 24 hours a day), and these are the dishes you want to try:
🥄 Warm soy milk
🥢 Soup dumplings (you can often choose between pork and veggies)
🥢 Pork baozi
🥢 Youtiao (油條 - a kind of fried donut stick)
🥢 Youtiao (油條) w/ pork floss & rice
🥢 Turnip cake
🥢 Chives pancake
🥢 Scallion pancake

TIP: Sharing is a good idea to taste as much as possible, because the portions are (often) large.

You'll want to remember these soy milk shops for your future trip to Taipei:
📍Fuhang Soy Milk
📍Soy Milk Shop
📍Yong He Soya Milk King (Da'an)
📍Sihai Soy Milk

I am currently touring Taiwan, and you can also find all the tips in my Stories Highlight.

Have you ever been to Taiwan? I'm curious if you thought it was *that* amazing!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away.

During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies, where there is plenty to do.

• A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea.

· Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round.

· Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting.

Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold right now, but there is plenty to do.

• The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!).

Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure.

Recipe: Sea bream ceviche

You need:
150g sourdough bread, unsliced
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 shallot, chopped
1/2 vanilla pod
1/2 tbsp vanilla sugar
1/2 tbsp honey
125 ml fish stock
50 ml white wine vinegar
75 ml sunflower oil
Fish sauce
4 sea bream fillets, 100g each
1 bunch of green asparagus, approx. 350 g
50 g fresh cream
50 g frisée lettuce
Fresh herb cress (such as chervil, borage and shiso), to garnish
Leguminous flowers (e.g. pea, capuchin, pod), for garnish
1 tin of caviar, 30g, preferably ANNA Dutch Royal

Additional supplies for cooking:
Round cookie cutter
sieve
Paper towel
Piping bag with small round nozzle

Sea bream ceviche recipe: How to make it

  1. Place the bread in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the bread very thinly and cut out circles. Place the circles on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake until crispy.
  2. Reduce the shallot, vanilla pod, vanilla sugar, honey, fish stock, and vinegar to 1/4 and strain through a sieve. Let cool, then whisk in the sunflower oil. Season with salt, pepper, and fish sauce, if desired.
    Remove the skin from the sea bream fillets. Trim away any dark spots to leave nice white flesh. Slice the fish very thinly and arrange in a large bowl. Marinate with the vanilla vinaigrette.
  3. Peel the asparagus to the tips. Remove 3 cm from the bottom. Boil the asparagus in salted water for 2 minutes and rinse immediately under cold water. Drain on paper towels and chop.
    into 2 cm diagonal pieces.
  4. Remove the sea bream slices from the vinaigrette and arrange them on the plates like a carpaccio. Toss the asparagus in the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Stir the crème fraîche and pipe it into a piping bag. Arrange the asparagus in a wreath around the sea bream. Pipe swirls of crème fraîche around the asparagus. Arrange the sourdough toast, frisée lettuce, green herbs, and legume flowers over the wreath. Garnish each plate with 1 teaspoon of caviar.
