1 Home Chef » Dried Chestnuts...

New to this site. Not quite sure how it works.

A bit about me, I am a pretty good home cook with some professional experience and training.

The question is use of dried chestnuts. DH brought me a bag of them. I boiled some in salted water drained and used in stuffing a chix. last night. Pretty good. Any ideas on how they should be used? This is a new ingredient to me.

Thanks

Cooking How-To » Pastry Cake Info Wanted

My Uncle used to buy a beautiful cake that had layers of thin pastry between the cake layers. It was filled with cream and fruit usually.  This was over 40 years ago and everyone I've asked doesn't know what I'm talking about.  Can you tell me the name or anything about these cakes?
