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 - though this site helps a bit. 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 ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Favorite cookbook: The Complete Meze Table by Rosamond Man

Daond Pasha (Meatballs with Pine Nuts and Tomatoes) from The Complete Meze Table

Ofenschlupfer : page 380

My husband and children assured me this was delicious (I don't eat bread or sugar anymore so you'll have to take it from them). It also was very easy to make: basically, layer bread and apples in an oven dish, pour some milk & eggs over, and bake. A great way to use leftover bread.

I would have liked a bit more detail in the recipe though. Does the sugar you sprinkle on the layers count towards the total of sugar in the recipe? I decided it was extra. For how long should it bake? Half an hour did it. Also, the photo suggested the egg whites should be whipped to make a merengue-like topping. I didn't, and everybody was very happy about the brown crispy bread on top.

ETA: Also great with banana instead of apple & raisins.
