Thanks for posting this recipe. The new edition of Diet for a Small Planet omitted it! My book fell apart, and this is one of my favorite recipes from it. Not, however, written by Adele Davis, but rather by Frances Moore Lappe. jlsp.
Thanks so much for putting this on the internet. i remembered the title of the recipe from my college days(1977) but could not remember where it came form . Now I can cook this easy tasty dish once again.
Thanks so much for posting this!! I lost the recipe, and it's my favorite recipe for leftover bread. The author of "Diet for a Small Planet" is Frances Moore Lappe (also wrote "Food First"). I highly recommend the book. My mother raised us all on Adelle Davis, but Frances Moore Lappe's recommendations are much more to my tastes these days.
Thanks so much as can't locate my old book! I DECIDED TO MAKE THIS TONIGHT FOR GUESTS WITH BLUE CHEESE.
You have saved the day as I couldn't recall the proportions. My children loved this made with cheddar and I used to crumb the bread to make it really fluffy. I have passed this on to my grandchildren.
