I didn't like this recipe at all and would definitely not make it again. It was not so much a taste issue as a texture issue for me. It tasted extremely lemony and had the texture been more like cake then it would have been nice. However the texture was just so awful it outweighed any positive points, it was extremely dense and resembled cold gnocci in texture, which I found to be very unpalatable.
