“You never disappoint me Natasha, any recipe of yours comes out perfectly and I'm not exaggerating, because thanks to your recipes my husband's belly is very happy haha, don't pay attention to bad comments, soy is not salty if you use the low sodium one, but it” — a cook, 5.0★
“Easy to follow directions and can be modified. Made as directed and was Ok and well cooked/textured and right amount of sauce, but the soy flavor drowned out anything else making it somewhat one note, in my opinion. Next time would probably leave out the soy ” — a cook, 3.0★
