Eggplant Forever
What a great surprise. After enduring a full thirty minutes of watching guys tossing pizza in the air for a world record on the Food Network Sunday night -- the culinary equivalent of "Stupid Pet Tricks" -- I watched local chef Liz Morath on the Ultimate Recipe Showdown win $25,000 for her Summer Eggplant Lasagna recipe.
She had entered the contest with best friend Jackie Gurney and taped it in L.A. last summer. But the women were sworn to secrecy about the outcome.
Even after I wrote about them in The News they would not say if they won or not. Photographer Sharon Cantillon thought the women had won the big bucks, but I was not so sure. Anyway, it's a big victory. And deserved.
Wanna see the recipe? Look up my story. Or if you want to taste it, visit TGIF Friday's, which will put it on the menu.
