Cooking need not be complicated. With a few quality accoutrements and the proper tools, even the most elementary dishes can become something special. These belong in the kitchens and cabinets of every food-lover you know.
Ingredients
Wild-Fennel Pollen
Fennel pollen is hand-harvested from the tiny yellow-green fennel flowers growing in the Tuscan countryside just before the plants go to seed. It is milder yet more fragrant than fennel seed, with subtle notes of licorice and anise. Use it to season meat, fish, and vegetables, or to re-create the Italian Job dessert from my restaurant, Lilia—fior di latte gelato, olive oil, honey, sea salt, and fennel pollen.
