I followed the recipe exactly, but my fruit bowl didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The anise flavor was too strong for my taste.

This was a quick and easy dish to make, and it turned out beautifully. I used a variety of fruits, including apples, oranges, and grapes. The anise flavor was subtle but noticeable.

I've never been a big fan of anise, but this dish has changed my mind. The subtle anise flavor perfectly complemented the fruits without being overpowering. I'll definitely be making this again!

This anise fruit bowl was a delightful treat! The combination of sweet and tart fruits with the anise flavor was simply divine. I especially loved the contrast between the crunchy walnuts and the soft, juicy fruits.
