I did not like it so much. I thought it was bland. I sprinkled some brown sugar on top and broiled it for a sec after first trying it and that was a bit better.

Been cooking professionally for 30 years and lovin it! The last 8 years I have been a Certified Dietary Manager. I work at a Residential Living Facility and use the Zaar recipes in my daily menues and the residents love it. I enjoy Garde Manger work , fruit and ice carvings , buffet spreads etc etc. I posted a few pics in photo community. I lost my camera when fishing last summer and haven't bought a new one yet.
