NOTES : When she heard about my cookbook, Barbara Crowe sent this recipe. I’ve learned so much about entertaining from Barbara and Chris Crowe. Whether it was in their restaurant or in their home, they always made their guests feel special.. and entertaining them effortless.

Does not freeze, but keeps very well in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or more. Allow to come to room temperature slowly before serving.

I’ve found this a very good easy accompaniement to fish, hot and cold, especially salmon and trout. (Very sinful).
