Most of Isa's recipes are good, and this one is no exception. I made these rolls today, and aside from them being kind of ugly (I am *awful* at rolling), they were wonderful. One bit of practical advice, though: Make sure your mango isn't too ripe or else you won't be able to chop it into matchsticks. That was my mistake, and I ended up smushing a lot of my mango.
