This recipe is an example of food created by Chef Jonnie Boer.

At the age of twenty-four Jonnie Boer took on the position of chef at the Restaurant De Librije. A few years later Jonnie and his wife Thérèse bought the restaurant and soon after they received their first Michelin star. Four years ago the restaurant received its second star making Jonnie at 33 the youngest two star Michelin chef in Holland.

Jonnie's style can be described as eclectic, daring and fearless. He has received notoriety not just for his great cooking but also for his commitment to using local commodities along side the more traditional goose liver and truffles one expects from high ranking dining establishments.

4 x 500g river perch
Lemon

30 g pine nut kernels
20 g fully mature cheese

• Roast the pine nuts in the oven adding cheese, lemon juice and olive oil.

• Process the fish fillets with fresh coriander leaves in the food processor as finely as desired.
