Saucy cod is a perfect dish for the evening, light and balanced and goes well with a rosé from the Pays d'Oc. Broccoli is full in season during the winter - its bright green colour adds a touch of happiness to the plate. It goes perfectly with cod fish. Did you know that the most eaten fish in France was cod? Indeed, this fish, also known as hake or morue, can be found on every fish market in France. Cook it and you will see...
