I've learned technique and have made many of his recipes. Two of my
favorites are (of all things) his mother's recipe for Spanish Rice,
and his recipe for French Bread. Watching him the first time making
the French Bread made me realize the importance of weighing the flour
over measuring.

Cyndi, in which of his books is the Barley with Mushrooms Casserole?
I don't believe I have it. Could you send or post it? Would be
greatly appreciated!

Thanks...
