Drinks, Wine / Gaby Guedez

Rias Baixas is not your usual Spanish wine region.

Pan-Fried Plaice with Lemon Caper Brown Butter Recipe from My Irish Table Cookbook

Pan-Fried Plaice with Lemon Caper Brown Butter Recipe by Chef Cathal Armstrong

Fish & Seafood, Recipes, Star Chef Recipes / Gaby Guedez

The recipe calls for Wondra flour, which is an important ingredient to chefs. If you use all-purpose flour to coat fish fillets,
