About this title

Review:

Be glad that Lora and Max Brody are telling you to Stuff It! In her characteristically irreverent style, Lora, ably abetted by her culinarily talented son, takes filled foods to new heights of flavor and fun. Claiming that stuffing is faster than the wrapping that is all the rage, the Brodys start with practical, quickly produced versions of classics like Phyllo Stuffed Spinach Pie and Stuffed Brie with Pecans. From there, we're off to Sam Arnold's Jalapeños Stuffed with Peanut Butter, Salmon Chowder in a Bread Bowl, Whole Pumpkin Stuffed with Curried Vegetable Stew, and about 70 more creative choices. For breakfast (croissants filled with scrambled eggs), lunch (Niçoise Roll-ups with a tuna filling), and dinner (manicotti made with won-ton wrappers), there is something to tickle your palate and everyone's tummies.

Chocoholics get a chapter of their very own, and no one should miss the Chocolate Roulade Filled with Chocolate Ice Cream. If you like to bake, also check out Calscones--buttery scones with a cheese filling.

Snappy, entertaining dialogue between mother and son adds useful information about each recipe. Brody is notoriously scrupulous about details, so the recipes are very clearly written. --Dana Jacobi
