Fisher knows firsthand how daunting it is to live with chronic illness, and Trust Your Gut offers quick and easy recipes that are simple but always deliver on flavor.

Cioppino

The word “cioppino” comes from the Ligurian language’s “ciuppin,” which is the name of a classic seafood soup from the Italian region of Liguria. Flavoured with garlic, herbs, and a tomato-wine sauce, it was similar in flavor to today’s American version of cioppino but with less tomato. Italian-Americans who fished off of Meiggs’ Wharf in San Francisco in the late 1800s are credited with developing present- day cioppino. Legend has it that when a fisherman came back empty-handed, he walked around the wharf asking the other more fortunate fishermen to “chip in, chip in” and share some of their catch. Cioppino is a combination of fish, shrimp, and shellfish with fresh tomatoes in a wine sauce.
