                        Chestnuts

If you have never roasted chestnuts, take a lesson from the street
vendors of Paris and New York, who know that crowds will gather
whenever the vendors begin to sell their wares. Toasted over an open
fire, chestnuts are absolutely delicious. In the kitchen, you'll be
pleased with the way their sweet nutty flavor enhances a menu.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Cut 2 slashes in the flat side of each chestnut

Arrange nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 4 or
5 minutes, turning once.

Peel with the help of a small sharp knife, and eat.

Traditionally, eat chestnuts while still very hot; you should burn
your fingers just a bit if the chestnuts are to taste their best.
