Vegan for the Ocean: Fishless Bouillabaisse Soup
Tuesday, 16 Feb, 2021
Congratulations to Giorgia Capaccioli, whose Fishless Bouillabaisse Soup was chosen by internationally renowned vegan chef Matthew Kenney as the winner of our first Vegan for the Ocean recipe contest!
"I know many delicious recipes, but this one seemed perfect for the needs of the crew. A well made soup is always nutritious, warming and easy to prepare without fancy ingredients. And then it proves that a Bouillabaisse without fish and mussels is exquisite."
Giorgia Capaccioli
