The taste is wonderful and delicious, reminds me of the eggplant parmigiana at a fine Italian restaurant. A little time consuming to prepare, but the results are well worth it. I shared it with a cousin and her family and they loved it too! I will make the dish again and I have a feeling that it is going to become a family favorite!

Sorry Nurse Di for the low rating. This is the first recipe of yours that wasn't a keeper at our place. My family thought it was to heavy on the tomatoes. Maryanne

I live in a very small town and don't get to go to many good restaurants. One of my husband's favorite meals is eggplant parmisan. I thought I would surprise him by attempting to make this. It was time-consuming but I followed your directions and it turned out real well. My husband was impressed because I usually don't put much effort into cooking and the dish was so delicious. The sauce was well seasoned and the eggplant was tender. Will have to save this one for special occasions, though. But I'll get treated like a queen for a while. Thanks.

This was quite yummy, but I was a little disappointed with the batter. I did exactly what the instructions said to do, but for some reason the finished 'product' wasnt what I really expected. The sauce was splendid; overall a nice dish. Thanks for the great recipe :-) I'll try again and hopefully the batter will come out different, or maybe I will combine this recipe with a different batter :-) I'll be sure to try some of your other recipes! :-)
