Although I was born in Lyons, the subtle flavors typical of Corsican cooking have definitely influenced my style. My dishes are extremely varied and well thought-out, but most of all simple. I like to surprise my family and guests with unexpected flavor combinations that don't take a lot of effort.

While this is delicious on its own as a side dish, Hélène also recommends it as a sauce spooned over roasted fish.
