What Did You Eat for Dinner Last Night?

Gloria Stuart, Actress, book artist

“I made something out of the London magazine Hello. It was fantastic. It’s called Hombre in the Hat and they say it’s a ‘flavorsome version of classic Toad-in-the-Hole, which uses chorizo and whole cloves of garlic with a spicy red Shiraz wine from Australia.’ Well, I didn’t have that. You take an 8-inch baking dish and put three sausages in it, three vine-ripened tomatoes and three cloves of garlic. You brown everything up in a 400-degree oven for about five minutes, then you pour a popover batter over it and bake it for about a half-hour. It all puffs up and it is absolutely to die over.”
