Author Notes
What can I say? A loaf of Iggy's sourdough Francese , a crock of this, and bliss is but a mouthful away! I first encountered Anchovy Butter as the table butter provided the lucky diners at Lydia Shire and Susan Regis's magnificent Biba, looking out over the beautiful historic Public Garden in Boston. So many fine memories, and 30 years later, those two talented chefs are still at it, chef/owning restaurants and exciting the palates of all their lucky customers! —LeBec Fin

My eating passions are Japanese, Indian, Mexican; with Italian and French following close behind. Turkish/Arabic/Mediterranean cuisines are my latest culinary fascination. My desert island ABCs are actually 4 Cs: citrus, cumin, cilantro, cardamom, and GARLIC!
