Reviews

Ingredients missing  The recipe sounds wonderful. The problem is that the quantity of sugha and type (powdered or granulated is missing as is the quantity of rasins. Should they be dark or white?  Michael Forbes

Missing  Missing ingrediants. But well liked by my family. Becoming a traditional dish in my family. I didn't like it.  Cynthia

I like it.  I've never made it myself, I've watched my grandmother make it, but that was years ago. For the first time in my life, I will attempt to make it.  Prince Nick Kudashev
