Simple Lessons in Roast Tomato Soup with Mussels & Fennel
So when a Sicilian cook's fishmonger was unable to supply her with all the fish she wanted for her brodu di pisci, or the family's budget didn't allow for an elaborate array of fresh fish, she had a trick. She'd use a combination of garlic, parsley, chilies, and salt pounded into a rough paste and then fried in local olive oil.

How to Make Vegetable Stock
It helps to brown the veggies first, so the stock gets infused with some of the flavors from caramelization.

The Nasty Bits: How to Make Sardine Lovers out of Sardine Skeptics
If you can get sardines that are very fresh, the easiest thing to do is to grill or broil them so the skin chars a little. Sprinkle with salt, freshly ground pepper, and lemon or vinegar. If, however, you find that fresh sardines are still too fishy for your taste, consider a simple marinade. I use ginger to combat the fishiness, a little wine for depth, soy sauce, and a dash of salt and sugar.

Khurdi - Bohra White Stock Soup
Khurdi or white soup is made with rich mutton stock and then flavored with whole spices. Milk is added to the soup to give it some body and creaminess. Milk also gives it the characteristically white color, which isn't really all that white. The deep and intense flavors are rounded off with lots of fresh mint to add freshness.

Jellied Turkey Terrine with Parsley and Capers
Here's an unusual way to use up left-over roast turkey: a delicate terrine set with naturally jellied stock and flavoured with a zingy mixture of fresh parsley, capers and gherkins. I made this with the leftovers of two chickens (not having a spare gobbler to hand) but it will work just as well with turkey, provided that you boil the stock long enough for it to form a gentle jelly.
