Thanks so much, Colu. Thank goodness for the NY Times--that's where I found out about you and your terrific food. Kathy

Of course Kathy! I’m so glad you found me too. I’m mostly over here these days and so pleased you’re here.

Colu! I am making a shopping list NOW to make these on Sunday. P.S. It is currently -6 in Chicago aka meatball weather. Pls find me some footage of Peel Me a Grape before I see your gorgeous face IRL next! <3

Oh yay! I hope you enjoy them!! I need to find that footage myself. ILY! 😘

The meatballs sound wonderful, but unfortunately my stomach can't handle tomato sauce. Are the meatballs fine without any sauce? Thanks you very much, Colu. My family and friends have loved everything we've cooked from your "Easy Fancy Food."

Hi Kathy! They are! Sometimes I fry some to keep for sandwiches and soups. If for sandwiches I would cook them for a longer so they are cooked through, probably about 10 to 12 minutes. So pleased you're enjoying the book too.

I really, really did! I tried to find a photo but gave up! 🤣🎤

For non-pork people would you do 2 lbs beef? Or poultry? Or just cut the recipe in half since we are just 2 people anyway? ❤️

Colu Henry's avatar

Absolutely fine to use all beef or beef and turkey or cut in half. But, sometimes I’ll fry them all and freeze some out of sauce for future use! ❤️

Yummmmmy!! Also I would like to remind you (and anyone!) that I have a fantastic video of you singing “Peel me a grape” from your book party!! I will watch it while I’m making meatballs this Sunday🤓🤓🤓🤓

Oh wow!! I had forgotten about that! Thank you for the reminder, I probably had one too many G&Ts! I hope you like the meatballs! xoxo

Hudson Valley reader here - I love a good snowstorm too! Not so thrilled about the Polar Vortex coming in tho...
