Interesting taste to have with Coffee or Tea and marvelous conversation. This is kind of a Master to add to and not as traditional as the ones made with Tahini or Semolina. Heck, I like it! *smile*

This is a beautiful recipe! Doesn't sound like the usual Halvah I have had in the past. This is a must try for me! I like the idea of Saffron & Rosewater...:)
