Tarama salad with artichokes

This is a different and, in my opinion, more modern version than the classic taramosalata spread.

The white type of tarama is always the most preferable choice

Cod fillets with raisins cooked in wine sauce

Delicious recipe to enjoy the cod in a different way. Normally, this recipe demands dried and salt cod fillets.

In this way it will become fluffy and most of the salt will be discarded
