I used this recipe for 9/10yr old students in my class to make. We omitted the pinenuts with Polly Waffle Kids blessing. Everyone really enjoyed the recipe and it was so easy for the young people to make. Some combined with cherry tomatoes and I must admit it looked great. Thanks for a good clean easy recipe PWK
