Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/03/2009 Ive made the chicken and potatoes and was so impressed I decided to go for the spinach. Absolutely delicious! I had micro some nutmeg on top to give it that extra POP. Thanks again Martha Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/09/2009 amazing! I love making this for guests - they are always bowled over. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/08/2008 Phenomenal!!!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/05/2008 WELL THE FRENCH KNOW HOW MUCH TO EAT, AND ALSO WHAT COMBINATION OF FOODS GO TOGETHER SO THAT THE FOOD IN YOUR BODY WILL NOT TURN TO "F A T". YOU CAN READ SUZANNE SOMERS COOK BOOKS AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF. ITS VERY INTERESTING Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/12/2008 Such a unique and delicious twist on creamed spinach. I made it with the potatoes and chicken- obviously a very special occasion- with all the butter, oil and heavy cream (!) in the meal. How do the French do it?? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/03/2008 Worth the extra steps for a delectable side dish to the very easy potatoes Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/31/2008 This was a recipe that I wouldn't normall try. I wouldn't recommend it, mainly because of the texture and the complicated taste. I enjoy crisp, fresh vegetables instead. It also seemed like a lot of work for a side dish. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/31/2008 A wonderful compliment to the potatoes....the basil is a dynamic addition to this traditional dish.....it would also go beautifully with honey-baked ham. 4 stars from me! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/28/2008 LOVE SPINACH AND BASIL. THIS RECIPE IS GREAT. THANKS JEAN-GEORGE AND MARTHAMartha Stewart Member
