Autumn Glory Thanks Nicole

[Guest guest]

I saw this recipe since I have the same cookbook. It has glorious pictures of cooked dishes on every page. Your recipe is on page 282.

I wanted to try it also, so happy you posted this. On page 418 is Persian Lentils and Rice. I have posted this one. It looks like a lot of work but it's not and well worth the effort put into the dish and even if you can't stand eaisins make sure to leave them in the recipe, they take on a meaty flavor, you will not know there's raisins in it. On page 164 I made the garlic mushrooms but haven't had time to post that one yet, very good also.

Geez, so many recipes and so little time to cook, huh? Donna
