Think of this: a succulent piece of fish—maybe sea bass or
salmon---baked to moist, tender perfection, surrounded by jewel toned
vegetables. There’s the emerald green of broccoli, the carnelian red
of grape tomatoes, the burnished gold of young carrots, and the pale
jade of zucchini, all set off by the deep terra cotta hue of the clay baking dish
in which the meal is presented to the guests oohing and aahing around
the table. As the lid is lifted from dish, the aromas of exotic spices
waft through the air—maybe some lemongrass, a touch of ginger, a hint
of fennel. Dinner is served---- deliciously, beautifully, and easily.
