About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - I hope this site will help a bit with that. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and six-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Nice aromatic meatballs with a hint of sweetness. Just not that special, really.

Very basic recipe, but very nice.

I found it quite difficult to roll the dough into a round log. I preferred them as roll-out cookies, using wodka glasses to cut them out.

The amount of glaze given is much too much - I used one third and I still had some left.
