Yul Brynner’s Sauteed Broccoli

Yul Brynner’s Sauteed Broccoli

My lovely penpal Margie in Atlanta mentioned ages ago that she’d spotted a Yul Brynner cookbook and I’m not sure why I didn’t get on the ebay machine immediately and buy one.  No matter, his card was picked from the pack for recipe of the month for August so I...
