The menu at La Cocina International Restaurant is a rich tapestry and a testament to the wide range of culinary skills that Chef Norberto Jaramillo has under his belt. But we’d be hard-pressed to find a more exciting menu item than the Bouillabaisse – a traditional Provençal fish stew originating from the port city of Marseille.
La Cocina’s take on the dish is intimate and delicate with the complexity of fine cuisine and yet somehow maintains the comfort and familiarity of Bouillabaisse’s original intent. With a foundation of hearty red sauce, the shrimp, mussels, clams, and scallops are set on a bed of linguine noodles. All the seafood is fresh and the flavor is both filling and light. The warm bread and parmesan garnish are just an added bonus.
It’s a meal that can be enjoyed at the height of the summer or in the chilly depths of winter and will always bring to mind the pleasantness of home – even if you didn’t grow up in the French countryside.
