When the grill press and panini recipe was released last year, I promptly put a panini recipe on my choice list thinking it is simple.
Well. It's simple when you have a party of TWO. Otherwise, way to time intensive to get them done for a crowd.
I love making the chocolate cherry skillet cake with hot fudge icing. I get bookings for cookware and I sell a lot of microplanes.
