Absolutely delicious sweet potatoe recipe! Never fails! I've made it probably 20 times. Excellent cookbook too! -
This is my new favorite way to eat sweet potato casserole! It's incredible. -
This is our favorite way to eat sweet potatoes. It ALWAYS turns out, and is even better with Grand Marnier instead of sherry! Love it, love it, love it. -
I have had this twice before because my mother has this cookbook. It is absolutely delicious. It is my favorite sweet potato recipe. Glad to see it on here because I don't have the cookbook!

have some fabulous recipes from well-traveled army people...
recently started adding just a splash of bourbon or brandy to real maple syrup - and it really gives french toast or pancakes a special, more sophisticated flavor...
a friend jokes that bourbon is my new "secret ingredient" that i'll be adding to everything - it's not true but i'm telling you - you should try it! it's really very good [for adults, anyway]
sugarpea's apple pancake recipe is a deadringer for Walker Brothers Pancake House in north shore Chicago - i've searchd for this for 34 years - and it's easy as well as To Die For!!!
the Dutch Baby pancake is a huge seller there too - with the same gooey comfort-food but elegant batter...
also if you search for lettuce wrap - the 2 recipes for PF Chang's come up... this is also SO GOOD, truly a memorable entree...
for cookbooks: With a Jug of Wine, More Recipes With a Jug of Wine were written by the San Francisco Chronicle food writer decades ago - and most everything in them is superb - and i learned a lot as a new cook, young wife, from reading through them in the late 1970s... i got a [very French] sense of food as a way of life
