Hi Dede, thanks so much for your recipes and videos - I really enjoy them. Wondering if you serve Fatteh cold or warm? Does it still taste good if I refrigerate it overnight to serve in the morning?
Thanks!

Hello dede I have watched many of your videos and I just loved them. and what I liked the most is the way you explain the recipe. I actually love ice cream and have been looking for EASY ways on how to make it. It all actually requires ice cream machine. I wonder if you can make a video to show me how to make it. And I would be so thankful. Thank you sooo much and waiting your wonderful recipes. Bye Bye
