Seafood

This is a light, luscious, sophisticated "salad" (actually, a deconstructed entree and vegetable side), with some of the most frustratingly vague instructions I've ever encountered. Here, I'll nail down some of the specifics.

Bridget, I nearly sent you a warning when I started to cook this cioppino —it is easily the most challenging (and best tasting) recipe we've tackled. I'm happy to answer your questions...

This is not a recipe for the faint of heart. It involves death, a lot of money, and a food mill. But after the first taste, it was absolutely worth every effort.

The preparation may look complicated, but it's actually pretty easy—because your guests assemble the tacos themselves.
