This truly is delicious. I made it for company with the first nettle offerings and there were rave reviews!
ReplyDeleteThis is really quite lovely. Very light and tasty, and so simple and quick to make. I haven't been disappointed with one recipe I've tried thus far. Keep them coming Patricia! I've even forwarded some of them on to a friend living overseas.
