“I'd never made this one before so I was really nervous. As a matter of fact, I realized, once I was cooking this for 90 minutes, I'd left out some important ingredients but put them in with an hour to go. Substituted ketchup for tomato paste; didn't have caraw” — a cook

“Really loved this recipe. Thanks so much. I think next time I'll use all-purpose flour, rather than cake flour, because the dumplings were so fluffy that the smaller lumps of dough kind of dissolved into mush. I liked the vinegar and caraway seeds with the bee” — a cook
