  • Reviews

  • “Clearly a four-and-a-half rating if only we had that choice. A perfect vegetarian–and I assume kosher?–dinner. For omnivorous Presbyterian me, perhaps some prosciutto would make it a clear 5.My taste buds need just a little more than is there in the ingredients list.Nonetheless, this is an excellent strata…and dinner.Thanks for offering it, Mirj!”

  • “I will definitely try this recipe. I had something similar at a restaurantin Seattle’s Capitol Hill this morning, but they wouldn’t share the recipe. It was a loaf, had large chunks of sweet potato, onions, dill, eggs and gruyere cheese.Was lovely. Served slightly warmed.”
