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.

Very simple, excellent taste. It does need a big casserole - I halved the recipe and I already needed a pretty big one.

Substituted whipping cream for milk + flour. Do salt enough - there is not really enough anchovies to make any difference in saltiness.
