DETOX, LEVEL 1, LEVEL 2

2 beef shanks
4 large short ribs
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 cup dry red wine (use water for Detox)
4 celery stalks, with tops
1 medium onion
4 garlic cloves
10 black peppercorns
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
    Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    Season the beef shanks and short ribs with the salt and place in a roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes. Remove the shanks and ribs and place in a large stockpot. Place the roasting pan on the stove over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the wine and continue stirring, scraping the bits off the bottom of the pan to release the flavor. Pour the contents of the roasting pan into the stockpot.
    Add all the other ingredients and 6 cups of water, and cook over medium-low heat. The stock should cook for 3 to 5 hours.
    Strain the stock through a fine sieve. Discard the meat and vegetables. Store the stock in containers in the refrigerator or freezer. When the stock is thoroughly chilled, fat will rise to the top and harden. Remove all the fat with a spatula.

4 to 6 Egg Crêpes
4 cups chicken stock or broth, preferably homemade , heated
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
    To make the egg crêpes into noodles, roll up each crêpe, then slice into noodles approximately ½ inch wide. (If they are too narrow, they tend to disintegrate in the hot soup.)

6 large eggs
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Melted unsalted butter
    In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a crêpe or omelet pan over medium to medium-high heat and lightly coat the bottom and sides with butter.
    Using a ladle, put just enough egg in the pan to make a thin coating. When it sets, lift up with a spatula, being careful not to tear the crêpe, and flip. Cook 1 minute more, then slide the crêpe out of the pan and onto a dish. Continue making egg crêpes in this way until you have used all the batter. Stack the crêpes as you would pancakes.
