Reviews
“Soooo good.The first time I made it my husband and I ate the whole thing.It was our meal for the evening.Everywhere I take it, it is a hit.I love it warm with crackers.Brings out the flavors.”
“This is lovely! I used butter, and savory instead of tarragon with just a hint of sage. I did put in the cheese as I have some chevre to use up, but it wasn’t really noticeable, except perhaps in the texture, which was smooth and spreadable. Really delicious – we like this a lot. “
