This was surprisingly easy to make, and was restaurant quality. I was too lazy to convert all of the measurements, so I just kind of estimated on all of them... and it surprisingly came out wonderfully! My dad's a chef (unfortunately I didn't inherit much of his cooking genes and I felt like I was eating a meal he made. I would definitely suggest this.

I've been making this as "company fare" since the early 1970s and it's wonderful for quick dinner parties when you want to spend more time with your guests, because you can do so much of it ahead of time. Always gets raves.
