This recipe is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less cranberries next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the almonds from this recipe. It was still very good!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add a bit of cumin and garam masala to the spice blend.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pilaf turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

I found that the pilaf was a little dry, so I added a bit more broth. It was perfect after that.
