Very fresh tasting. Like that there are no herbs and spices in this, so it doesn't hide the flavor of things such as the meatballs I served it with. (Demelza's recipe #448374) Will be making this again. Made for Spring 2013 PAC.

Well, I am very passionate about cooking and love discovering new recipes. I love participating in the events since I'm always finding new recipes that I wouldn't have found on my own. My housemates and boyfriend all enjoy our food adventures and I love to leave people positive reviews and nice ish photos.
