Pete, I think that picture was taken right before Kathy and I pressed our little noses to the window. Jean, do try something (NOT the creme brulee). I really do suggest everyone make a couple batches of those mustard batons and keep them in the freezer. I ate the last one today (heated over the toaster). They offer a big bang for very little effort. Mary |

It was quite good, just lemon juice, olive oil and vanilla extract (I used a bean because I had some. I scraped the vanilla out and stuck the bean in with the dressing until serving. I did take a photo... not that lovely but you will get the idea.  I will give you the exact measurements soon. The plate looked prettier but I started eating and remembered I hadn't photographed it for all eternity. Mary |

Mary, have you tried the creme brulee recipe from our class? |

Not yet. I did a chocolate one that came out fine though. Full confession, I upped the recipe to 1 1/2 so it may not be all Dorrie. The one we did in class was fantastic though. Mary |

Thanks Kathy AND Katie... this is a great book. I am sure I will get a lot of use out of it and that is certainly not true with many cookbooks. What have you made from it? Mary |

I didn't make the mustard batons, because (dumbly) I figured anything that easy couldn't be good. I will try them. I made the Rosemary Butter Veal chops, the Asparagus Soup, the Basque Potato Tortilla (which was a little bland, but she lists variations, so I'll try another) and tonight, I'm making the Short ribs in Red Wine and Port. Everything I've made was excellent - even the tortilla. The trouble with this book is everything sounds so good. I want to make it all. |

I wasn't going to make the mustard batons (same reason) but had some unexpected obligations and wanted to cut some work. I was going to make the olive sables but will do that another time. Next thing I think I want to make is the chicken on the cover (using the pizza dough variation). I think I will wait until after vacation though. Mary |
