Dear Brian:
This sound great but I am not familiar with the Silver Palate cookbook. Any ideas about how the list can get the recipe? Thank you
Eileen

In my opinion the Silver Palate cookbook was the best cookbook published in the 1980's. It was written by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. If I could choose only 10 cookbooks to keep out of my collection of thousands, the three cookbooks written by these two would be on the list.

I think my Silver Palate is on loan to my sister, but I usually make this recipe from memory. As a result, it may differ from what's written there. I ask the Duckess, who is a vegetarian, to cover her eyes just now...
