NOTES : 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.
