I appreciate the way you improvised, with some trepidation, to keep going and find a way to make this recipe happen. Mussels are only something I get in restaurants and this makes me want to try it at home. Thanks for the recipe.

For your bread next time, what do you think about drizzling olive oil after rubbing with fresh garlic on it?

Yours/Ina’s recipe sounds delicious.

I had no idea about putting flour in the water. Great tip.

I am a good cook, but mussels freak me out because of the de-bearding and sand removal process. You’ve encouraged me to give it a go!

I love mussels too and have always been intimidated to try them outside of a restaurant. After reading your experience in making them, I decided to give it a try and they came out great! Your tips and instructions were super helpful and made this dish seem approachable. Thank you for the inspiration to finally try making mussels at home!
