Ceviche

B walks you through all the key steps in making a Peruvian ceviche. It's an interesting process where you don't cook the food on the stove or in the oven, but instead you marinate your ingredients in lime juice which basically "cooks" the raw fish. A very fresh dish, perfect for anytime you want something a little lighter for a meal or a snack.

About Bartholomew Singer

I was born in London, reared in Chicago and grew up in New Orleans. Got my cooking start at Jacques-i-mos, a popular Creole spot in the Crescent City. Covering for a friend in the kitchen, I became the sous chef for the next two weeks, after all but one employee walked out the night before. Notebook in hand I received an intensive 2 week crash course in Creole cooking. I made it through and then happily returned to my second home - slinging drinks from behind the bar.
