Additional information and bibliography
Excerpt from an interview by Mr. Andreas Hatzilambis: "We used to make this recipe exclusively in the winter, since that's when the mushrooms were available. Question: Where did you learn the recipe? Answer: From my mother, Adrianni Hatzilambi. Question: Is it a local recipe? Where do they make it? Answer: No it is not a local recipe. Question: How often do you make it now? Answer: Three to four times a month, specifically during the winter. Question: How often did you make it before? Answer: When we lived in Komi Kepir and I was a child we made it every week. This frequency has changed because there was more availability and we could find the mushrooms in more places." (Andreas Hatzilambis, Komi Kepir, Kyrenia)
