World Of Nobu: Hamachi Kama with Jalapeno Dressing, Nobu London

In trying to figure out what to do for dinner on a Wednesday night, I discovered there was recently acquired hamachi kama in my refridgerator from Sakanaya.

Previously, on tastingmenu.wordpress.com – * https://tastingmenu.wordpress.com/2019/05/11/nobu-soy-caramel-banana-dessert/ Over the years, my wife and I (as well as some of my friends) have enjoyed dinner at Chef Marisa Iocco’s restaurant Spiga Ristorante (aka “Spiga”) in Needham, MA. I was looking through Chef Iocco’s Every Menu Is A Love Story, when I spied a recipe for her Chocolate […]
