SADHYA Seven hours to create, one minute to eat!
I haven't had my breakfast yet, and I am salivating all over the keyboard.

ArtBee What a fantastic set of photos! You have done an amazing job with this recipe Steve! Looks like quite an ambitious dish to make, but oh so wonderful to eat!......
BTW....Your shot of the pie wedge is much better than the book!
