this dish.

occasion if you have been advised to follow a low-protein diet.
Carbohydrate: The main source of carbohydrates in this dish are the cherries,
sugars and filo pastry. The carbohydrate value has been provided for those who have
been trained in insulin adjustment.
Special diets: Gluten free: It is difficult to find gluten-free filo pastry and therefore
you may wish to use gluten-free puff pastry instead. Vegan: Many brands of shopbought
filo pastry are dairy-free. Use a dairy-free spread instead of butter.
Cheaper option: Vanilla extract could be used instead of the vanilla pods
