  1. Tasty! I've been on a brandy kick lately and this was the perfect dinner. This was so much fun to cook and very entertaining to prepare - I really enjoyed igniting the brandy. Definitely a keeper.
     
  2. I substituted the chicken for shrimp and scallops. Excellent recipe! A keeper!
     
  3. I have a similar recipe from a book called 30 minute meals and it is truly divine! Thanks for posting this because I can now use my Zaar cookbook instead :)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a small (but growing to be very large) town in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, studying library science. I like to cook and eat, play the piano and violin, and train and play with my two dogs. I don't have a single favorite cookbook, but of the ones I use, I like BHG the most. Their recipes are usually very good. I would say my passion is learning new things--and traveling to new places. I also enjoy writing fiction. Some of my pet peeves are: 99% of the drivers in Oklahoma; people who don't take good care of their pets; people with NO TASTE; intellectual psychobabble nonsense; boring people; the list goes on forever!
