Notes: A colleague at Vogue tasted this meat loaf at Leonard Schwartz's 72 Market Street restaurant in California. She loved it so much that we got, tested and printed the recipe to applause. Here is a microwave version, which can't shorten the ingredient list or the chopping time, although you can chop in the food processor. It does short the cooking time. It is definitely good enough to be company meat loaf.
