  Excellent mid week meal, easy and leaves no washing up. Delicious way to eat your 5-a-day.

  Absolutley crap. Horrible. The cheese (camembert light), didn't melt, not in the microwave, under the grill or even in the oven. Yes, good by means of no washing up, but is a horrible mess, and it has been the worst thing i've ever made in my whole entir life. I would not recommend it unless, you want to be dissapointed.

  Was really delicious & will definately make it again. Would be nice with any kind of cheese as topping. Really easy to make & very quick.

  @jipington, Well, do not use Camembert light then. It's plastic in a box. If you want to eat low fat, don't eat Camembert. If you want to eat Camembert, eat the real stuff.

  Don't normally cook with a microwave, so I was a bit tentative about this, but it turned out wonderfully and was so much faster than using an oven! I put the cheese under the potatoes so it melted into the veg. But please use real cheese for this recipe - "camembert light" is never the answer.

  This was actually surprisingly better than I thought that it would be considering the mixed reviews, I finished it off with the camembert in a hot oven for 20 minutes and the whole thing was tasty and delicious.

  loved this. great for the sunday cook up ready for the week ahead- freezes well! second time I made it I added the left over chicken from the Sunday Roast- the pickings off the bones that you never know what to do with- very nice! sprinkle a little grated cheese on top as well which adds an extra bite to the Brie

  Boy that was good :-) Didn't make it by using the microwave, the technology is still too new for me! I used red onions instead of leek, as I didn't have any. I also added half a courgette as I was a little light on the mushrooms. I will make this again and again as I always seem to have half a pot of creme fraiche that I do not know what to do with. Thanks Mr Desmazery.

  I used only 1 leek (as I only had 1!) but it was quite nice, reminded me of bubble and squeak. We had it as a main course but it would work great as an accompaniment to meat or fish. A great and cheap way to use up all the lonely odd vegetables and sprouting potatoes lying about, as I'm sure it can be made with any combination, and any cheese you like, doesn't absolutely have to be camembert.

  I used a random combination of veg and a bit of double cream that needed using up. Also used parmesan cheese and cooked it in the oven as I don't have a microwave. Despite losing my connection to the site and having to make the recipe up, it turned out a treat - can't really go wrong with this one! Even managed to get my partner to eat cabbage! I would definitely recommend seasoning with salt and pepper though.
