This week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays comes from Dorie Greenspan’s latest cookbook, Everyday Dorie and it’s a bit of an old-fashioned classic – in fact, when I served it, Neil said “Oh, we haven’t had schnitzel in ages” (sidenote: what’s the difference between schnitzel and “milanese-style”?
