"Liver had not been one of my favorites..however, after making this recipe, I changed my mind. The brandy and raisins give this dish that special taste. Also is an excellent source of iron."

What a nice entree! The brandy and raisins add just a touch of sweetness; a very nice addition to traditional liver with onions and bacon! Made for the L-O-V-E Train 2012. -
This was so much better than the old stand by of just plain liver and onions. We had no bacon, so I just used olive oil to cook the liver in and it turned out fantastic!

Hi, I live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. I am semi-retired; I have a Bed & Breakfast, which is temporarily closed.
When I have guests I enjoy making special breakfasts that are easy, quick, tasty and different.
I like cooking for my husband who enjoys all foods, and for family and friends.
I enjoy baking more.
I try to cook with low-fat ingredients in mind, including deserts..but everything must be tasty.
I do not have an all-time favorite cookbook ..I find recipes from magazines, tv, newspapers, & then compile them in a cookbook of my own..I 'try & test' the recipes..if tasty,I keep 'em, if not, out it goes!
I tend to use old recipes over & over, new ones sometimes are a disappointment.
