I say it would feed 6-8 people-give and take? It’s hard to estimate as serving size is dependent on lots of factors. You could probably feed more if there are other dishes involved😊.

She must of loved to cook for her family as dicing the individual ingredients so perfectly would only mean she wanted the salad to be at its best:). I don't always do the best job of dicing but the salad still tastes delicious... just might not look so pretty:).<br /><br />Sorry it took me so long to respond... I don't always have availability immediately... but I try to answer as quickly as possible. I am assuming all 3 comments are yours:). <br /><br />And as for how long to cook the potatoes, it really depends on the size of your potatoes... There is no exact timing. But as long as your potatoes can be pierced with a fork they are good to go. I overcook my potatoes too:)... but as you say, it still is delicious. <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by...and for you kind comment! I am glad you like the salad.

I'm sure your mom's idea of using salami brought a ton of flavor to the salad.<br /><br />As for the Dobos torte, I've often thought of making it, along with other sweets like amandine, savarine, etc .... But I normally try not to bake too much... especially cakes, as most use quite a bit of buttercream:). In any case, it's been on my mind to add a few of these dessert recipes on the site. <br /><br />For some time now, I've been limiting the amount of sugar in our diets, as much as possible anyway:). So baking has been on the back burner....<br /><br />But one day, for a special occasion, I may venture out to try a Dobos. Incidentally, I've been wanting to try this recipe ever since I've seen it years ago:): http://www.pastrypal.com/2009/08/chocolate-dobos-torte-and-the-daring-bakers/<br /><br />I am thinking your mom may have crushed some of the hard caramel and folded it into the buttercream.... to get that crunchy texture. Just a thought. <br /><br />Anyway, maybe you will beat me to making the Dobos:)... would love to see your version.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029231204593874635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-27163802048510160642012-08-23T19:10:44.175-07:002012-08-23T19:10:44.175-07:00Hi Ellie, my mom made this for parties when I was ...Hi Ellie, my mom made this for parties when I was a kid. She used salami that she would slice herself for the meat. Here is a challenge for you. How about making a Dobos Cake. I got close and failed.

I totally understand when it comes to the Romanian measurements...it always detered me from trying out recipes( was given a Romanian cookbook...written in Romanian... and never used it...just because I didn't know how to "translate" it to American standards). I've slowly adapted my own style and measurements...so it means a TON to me that I could inspire others to make the dishes that I once thought unattainable.<br /><br />Real glad your husband and children liked the dishes:)...And thanks again, for stopping byElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029231204593874635noreply@blogger.com
