It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

reviews & comments
The recipe sounds absolutely great, and I have every intention of trying it out and leaving a full review at a later time. However, being something of a coffee...person, I will currently point out that instant coffee powder plus coffee liqueur does not yield espresso. The aforementioned item is in an entirely separate category/or class of coffee-dom, all its own. That said, keep up the good work, and I will post a more complete review at a later date!
