Try searching under Bouillabaisse. It's a Southern French soup/stew
generally made with several kinds of fin fish and shellfish, with
wine, tomato, garlic, aromatic vegetables like leek, celery, carrot
and onion, saffron, fennel, Pastis Ricard or Pernod liqueur, orange
peel, and other flavorings. It rocks.
I used to work with a Provencale chef who swore his secret was a
spoonful of orange marmalade dissolved in the soup. It's not something
you'd expect to be there, but it's great, and, without it, it's not
quite the same...
It's definitely one of those things where, perfume-wise, the whole is
greater than the sum of its parts.
