So I myself do not like chestnuts, but the people who tried were very impressed. These qualities of the recipe, now some remarks:1./ It is very labor intensive, note that peeling chestnuts me at least it took me 1.5 hours. 2./ I think the time for baking and cooking chestnuts have to be increased by at least 50% or not is of little oven. Helpful Hint: Do not try to peel soft inner layer of the chestnut becomes much easier when you boil it and then by stirring with a mixer robbing them of agitators at least my mixer quite effectively deal with this.
