    The flavour of the aubergine in this recipe was fantastic! I didn't have mozarella so used cheddar instead: gorgeous! I ended up eating 2 halves on my own (:o)

    Nice and light, but also a bit bland, especially considering the watery insipid tomatoes in the supermarkets. Simmered tinned tomatoes with some garlic and oregano work better.

    I used a fresh tomato pasta sauce as opposed to whole tomatoes (not keen on them myself) and served it with green salad for a light lunch - would double up for a more substantial main course in the evening.

    As my husband is less keen on aubergine,I used 2 courgettes,roasted for 35mins at 180 in a fan oven, adding mozzarella for the last 5 mins. I roasted cherry tomatoes for 15 mins,and put them on top of the cheese before serving.Instead of couscous,to make it gluten free, I served hot quinoa, mixed with peppers,and onion, cooked slowly in a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar, with peas.Very tasty.

    Very easy to make and very tasty. I sprinkled some finely chopped garlic onto the top of the cheese and tomatoes.

    Easy to make, but make sure you use good quality tomatoes, perhaps even smaller cherry vine tomatoes, to really get that flavour into the dish.

    Absolutely delicious! I loved it but I added some thinly sliced red onion on top of the cheese and tomato which really made a difference. I will definately make this again

    Very disappointing. Tasted like an aubergine with sliced tomato and a bit of melted goo on top. Will not be making this again.

    Made for veggie guests. Looked v pretty and was easy enough to do while catering for 12 people. Not sure it tasted as lovely as it looked but good result considering how quick and easy it is to cook.

    Easy to follow recipe, and looked delicious, but didn't taste so good. I was very disappointed- maybe I had a bad aubergine?
