Born in Montreal, I've lived in Seattle for 11 years now. The city as well its surroundings are extraordinary but really good, small restaurants with innovative cuisine are not numerous here. That was not a problem in my native Montreal. I have therefore taken up the challenge to do it myself and a site such as rouxbe.com is of great help.

Had a great time making it and the taste was both interesting and excellent. I probably used a bit too much cilantro so that the dressing was a little too green perhaps.
Otherwise great, with the fried capers being quite a highlight. The overall mix of opposing tastes is quite impressive in this recipe. I don't think I got it quite right but I'm certainly interested in refining that part.
For the basmati rice recipe I couldn't find pandan leaves but will try harder next time.
As a final note I must say that the tilapia turned out much better than my past attempts where I was using too high a temperature and no lime juice. The cooking procedure in the recipe produces a much more moist texture.
Great start for my first rouxbe recipe!
I had a great time making this recipe but it required a lot of quick work. I never got around to doing the suggested couscous.
With a bit more preparation on my part this will be a great one for having people over.
