Ingredients (for 4 people):
1.6 kg fresh sea bream
1 untreated lemon
1 untreated orange
1 grapefruit
few leaves of basil, mint, thyme, parsley
salt, pepper
extra-virgin olive oil
1 blanched fennel bulb cut into thin, strips
baking paper
Method
1) Scale and gut the fish and cut it into fillets.
2) Remove the orange peel with a potato peeler and carefully eliminate the white, bitter part. Cut it into very thin strips.
3) Peel citrus fruits "alive" and obtain the wedges, taking care not to leave any white membrane; squeeze the juice and reduce it to half over low heat.
4) On a squared piece of baking paper, lay the fennel strips, the reduced juice, the herbs and the raw fish fillet with some orange peel on top, the mixed citrus wedges, a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper.
5) Wrap the baking paper in the shape of a bundle, then close it with a cooking string.
6) Bake at 180 degrees for 6 minutes.
To understand Baroque, you have to understand its ambition. To fully appreciate it, you have to go to southern Italy. Emerging from the Counter-Reformation in early 17th-century Italy, the movement harnessed drama, ornamentation and light in service of devotion – art designed to engage the senses as much as the intellect.
Some travellers fall in love with a city all at once. Others come to know it gradually, season by season, until they understand not just where to go, but, perhaps more vitally, when. London, with its Royal parks and cobbled courtyards, layers of heritage and history, rewards the latter handsomely.
Belgium does not apologise for its obsessions. In a country that has elevated brewing, architecture and surrealism to the level of national philosophy, chocolate occupies its own distinct place: something closer to culture than craft, as central to the country's identity as its quirky humour. To understand this is to understand Brussels itself.
