Another great dish! And the description is good, because it is such a romantic dinner, and very special. Highly recomend it. -
Made this a couple days after New Year's Eve since we had leftover champagne going to waste. It was very easy to prepare and very tasty. My fiancé made a comment to the effect that we were eating gourmet that night.
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!
