Took me twice the stated time because I am slow, but the result was right.
The equipment list is honest. Nothing exotic is required and nothing essential is hidden in the middle of a step.
The photo made me nervous that mine looked different, but it tasted right and everyone asked for the link.
I do not own the exact thing the recipe describes, so I used something close in size. Ready a little sooner, and it worked.
