Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Wondetful! We can't wait to see what other recipes you use from our files. That's exciting news. Keep up the good work. Donna Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile Samara <cookingclass2008 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 05:35:08 Mexican Chayote Soup, Sopa De Chayote TNT We made this lastnight in our class. We doubled the recipe and served it in little cups. Everyone loved it and seeing none of us had ever heard of Chayote before it looked so different then other squashes, but it tasted so good. We are picking recipes now for the end of the year dinner and I will be picking a chayote recipe from the group files. We hope you try this recipe you won't regret it. The cooking class.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 What do Chayote squash look like? I'm not sure if I have ever seen one. Are they those smallish light green pear shaped things? Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
