D made these. They were very good, and seemed to come together quickly. The one thing we thought was weird was that a gratin had no cheese. So he added 1/4C of Italian Blend Cheese.
We and our friend all liked them. Perhaps a little more salt, but would have again.
We had with Lamb with Rosemary and Anchovies.
