  1. Just curious: how much in grams (or lbs) it would be 10 baby zucchinis? 'Case mines don't look like 'babies' :)

  10. Yey! These recipes are so exciting to have!! Jen and I have been waiting impatiently for them. We so so so enjoyed our meal with you guys -- both because of the lesson, food, company, and beautiful setting.

    We also tried the last menu (kebobs, couscous, etc) for a dinner party and it went over so very well!!

    One thing that would be helpful, especially for like recipes on the last menu (less important with the frittata and pies) is a serving amt per recipe -- we sort of guessed whether they would serve 4 or 8 etc.

    Can't wait for the rest of the recipes, and another sunday suppers sometime soon!

    Thanks guys!

  13. lovely! thank you for the update on the rice quantity.

    will definitely give this a go over the weekend.
    do you think i could replace the heavy cream with something else? such as sour cream mixed with olive oil/lemon juice?

  14. Frittatas are such fun to make- you can put just about anything in them. Like the idea of rice and yogurt in yours- it looks delicous!

  15. Madam Sucre (what a great blogger name ! btw) fennel pollen are the tiny golden pollen are taken off wild fennel plants as they begin to bloom you can buy them here- it is quite strong - so a little bit goes a long way http://www.zingermans.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=P-FEN
    And Lizzy (and jen) thank you for the thoughtful sweet comments - we loved having you both - and thanks for the advice, we'll definitely start incorporating serving amounts. hope to see you soon !
