These are the richest appetizers we have ever served. They are wonderful with wine and cheese! A version of this recipe was a gift from a friend and we have enjoyed it along with our guests. Use as much Gorgonzola as suits your taste!

You do have to rinse the brine off the grape leaves. It comes with the directions. These are lovely who would have ever thought of gorgonzola and grape leaves? What a great thing for a cocktail buffet! I finally threw up my hands and said "There are no more!". Read More

This is absolutely delicious but it is very expensive and needs to be strained a few times over; the juice was dripping down my hosts chins. Also if you get big grape leaves put a little more mix in it. There shouldnt be more grape leaves than mix. Read More

Overall I thought this was a great recipe. I would make one change. It was a bit salty for my taste. I would suggest rinsing the grape leaves to remove the brine. I also served it warm with some tomato sauce. It was very good this way as well. Read More

Dynamite! I used the leaves soaked in vinegar brine which I prefer as they have a milder flavor rinsed and drained them. I also had a lot to make so I flushed out the filling with some rice (not much) to keep my costs down. I used a mix of macademia nuts walnuts and pine nuts since I had them on hand tomatoes and onions out of my garden. These were a huge hit everyone thrilled to see a vegetarianstuffed grapeleaf. I will make these again and again! Read More

Overall this was a huge hit. My only complaint is that even without the brine it was a bit too salty. We did love the filling. For those who don't adore grape leaves we used the extra as a topping for bruschetta with a little honey drizzled on top. That was amazing. Read More

My husband has held that he would NEVER enjoy Gorgonzola and has turned it down every time it infiltrated his food - but this he loved! In fact everyone at the party loved this - even those who appeared to be less than enthusiastic about "whatever was in those leaves." Try it! It takes a little time but isn't hard to wrap up the leaves (they don't tear on you.) Yummy! Intensely yummy! Read More
