Mine was pretty sour - probably the brand of creme fraiche, but I think I would rather have just smashed all the cookies into a powder for the sauce instead of having bits all over that went soggy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815369823036697.post-40892062277042861212011-09-16T17:25:03.801-07:002011-09-16T17:25:03.801-07:00It's so interesting to see how you and some of...It's so interesting to see how you and some of the others have plenty of sauce and others, like me, had little or none left after boiling. I also was surprised at how good this tasted, but was really glad after it took so long for me to find the cookies. I also made the spinach and we thought it was good and what was nice is that it was just as quick and easy to fix as the chicken.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528705304212511604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815369823036697.post-22026022496420681132011-09-16T14:39:51.533-07:002011-09-16T14:39:51.533-07:00I don't think anyone is experiencing the crunc...I don't think anyone is experiencing the crunch, but the chicken was good and quick...I sometimes really like quick.Kris' Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15135658114728468080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815369823036697.post-30123952981706247442011-09-16T08:15:46.993-07:002011-09-16T08:15:46.993-07:00I like Matt's description.

Dorie could have been clearer on how much cookie to use. Saying "two cookies" leaves too much room for variation. Oh well! It was good anyway.Eihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002642692299774106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815369823036697.post-90595372710394184192011-09-15T10:56:35.984-07:002011-09-15T10:56:35.984-07:00Cool!

I used about 5 cookies for the batter because I remembered the ones sold in Germany were HUGE while mine were only mooncake-sized. Aaargh, the curse of being Asian sometimes! LOL.

I have to admit it sounded a bit questionable to me and I wasn't sure about making it. But after reading your review I'm looking forward to it a bit more. <br /><br />By the way, I also wanted to say that I was not joking when I said that you had inspired me to take a closer look at some of my unappreciated cookbooks which have been relegated to the back corners of the bookshelf. So far I have already decided that one has to go, and another one is currently being tested, but so far has much better chances of making the cut. Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
