  1. We make this every year around the time we usually travel. It has become a small ritual.

  2. Made it twice in a week to get it right. The first time I misread one step and it showed. The second time I set a timer for the part I always forget. It was worth being stubborn about.

  3. First time I have used this vegetable at all. I had walked past it in the market for years assuming it was difficult. It is not, it just needed somebody to explain it once. I will buy it regularly now, which is what a good recipe does.

  4. Served it warm rather than at room temperature as suggested and preferred it that way, though I can see why the recipe says otherwise.
