Hi Maya! I am a regular follower of your blog and love almost all the recipes I have tried so far! One quick question – I would like to make cutlets for a party so I was wondering if it would be feasible to fry them well ahead and then reheat them in the oven. Thanks!
yeah that would be fine..Thanks for the support! 🙂
