Nina – Thanks for stopping by! Peter’s site is one of my favorites and if you found Inn Cuisine from Kalofagas, then I’m doubly happy. I’m glad you like what’s cooking here at the Inn, and as far as site design—bright & inviting was exactly what I was going for when I started this blog. It’s always nice to hear when people enjoy it, so I thank you again for your kind comments. I hope you’ll visit often.

Lydia – The sideways slide, if I remember correctly, was mentioned at one time by chef and cookbook author James Peterson. I happen to own his latest cookbook, entitled “Cooking,” but am not sure if this technique is listed in it. I will definitely check though and get back to you.

Thanks for the compliment on this post! This short series on mussels is actually dedicated to my mother, who had never eaten this tasty shellfish until she visited recently. I think she honestly enjoyed them, and hopefully she’ll have the confidence now to add them to her repertoire and begin wowing her friends back home in sunny Florida!
