Reviewer: Jill Saunders from Cardiff, Wales, UK
I have never had any success in making curd before, so I was a little dubious when trying out this recipe. But, it was so quick and easy to prepare (no double boiler... wonderful), and the flavour is just sublime. (no pun intended!!)Guess what we're having for afternoon tea?
