  1. Prepared everything in the morning and finished it in twenty minutes while people were arriving. That is the whole reason I picked it. I have ruined enough evenings standing at a stove with my back to the room.

  2. We now make this every time somebody comes to stay.

  3. The instructions are written by somebody who has actually stood in a kitchen. The order of operations makes sense and nothing is left to be guessed.

  4. My grandmother watched me make it and corrected me twice, once about the heat and once about something she could not really put into words. She still had two portions. I have written her corrections in the margin for next time.
