CHICKEN BOUILLABAISSE
This dish, made with chicken, kielbasa, and potatoes, takes its inspiration from the famous fish stew of the South of France and contains all the classic seasonings, including saffron. An expensive spice, saffron is essential to this dish. The best comes from Spain. I've also added a little tarragon at the end. Although not absolutely necessary, tarragon has a slight anise taste that complements the other seasonings. To reinforce its flavor, I add a splash of Pernod® or Ricard® at the last minute, although this ingredient is optional too.

CHORIZO STEAMED CLAMS
I have always just called these chorizo steamed clams, 'Spanish Clams,' since it seems like there's some variation of this on every Spanish restaurant menu I've ever seen. Sometimes they use beer, or white wine, or sherry; and many varieties of clams can be used. But the common denominator is the spicy, Spanish-style chorizo. I like to serve steamed clams with grilled bread.

Steps:
- Place large pot over medium heat; add olive oil. Stir in diced onion; cook and stir until onions begin to turn translucent, 3 or 4 minutes. Add chorizo; cook and stir to render some fat, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour in white wine.
- Raise heat to high and bring liquid to a boil. Immediately add clams and distribute evenly. Cover and cook until clams open, about 7 minutes. During this time you can occasionally shake the pot to "stir" the clams using potholders or a kitchen towel to hold the pot handles. It's best not to open the lid and stir.
- When clams have opened, remove pot from heat. Stir in butter and parsley; allow butter to melt. Serve clams in heated bowls with lots of the liquid.

Steps:
- In a nonreactive bowl, stir together the onions, celery, carrots, garlic, olive oil, saffron, zest, flour, fennel seeds, herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and thighs and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Dump the chicken and marinade into a large pot. Add the tomatoes, wine, chili pepper and 1 1/2 cups water. Pierce the potato halves with a sharp skewer and add to the pot. Place over medium-high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Adjust heat and simmer gently, covered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chorizo to the pot and cook, covered, 5 more minutes. Poke potatoes with a fork to see if they are just tender; continue to simmer until they are. When potatoes are tender, remove one potato half and 1/4 cup of liquid from the pot and set aside for the rouille. Add the clams, sticking them down into the liquid. Simmer until the clams open. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- If a lot of clear fat has risen to the top of the soup, use a spoon to skim some off and discard. Stir in Pernod and tarragon. Ladle into bowls and serve, passing the rouille for guests to dollop into their bowls.

Steps:
- Heat a large saucepot over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, using a spoon or spatula to break up the sausage into small pieces, until the sausage begins to brown. Add the onions and garlic and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the sausage has browned, 3 to 4 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the clams to the pot and let settle for a minute, then add the white wine and cilantro. Re-season with salt and pepper and cover tightly with a lid. Let cook about 5 minutes, making sure that the broth at the bottom is at a simmer during that time. After 5 minutes, the clams should have opened or be mostly open; if not, or if the mixture is dry, add another 1/4 cup or so of wine, cover and simmer until the clams are open, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Taste the broth for seasoning and add salt or pepper if necessary. Add the butter to the broth and stir to combine.
- Transfer to a large serving bowl, making sure to pour the broth over the clams. (Remove any unopened clams and discard them.) Serve with crusty bread or baguette.
