  This was awful. The potatoes were still raw after an hour and a half and everyone left it on their plates.

  I love this recipe but i have to say i have changed it quite a bit! as only need it to feed my family of three i have put 200ml of milk (semi) and 200ml of single cream (healthier version) bit of mixed herbs and three garlic cloves in a pan and heat to boiling. I always used my slicer on food processor to slice the potaoes as does them thinner than i can, slice up 700g and layer them in a greased dish i use my pyrex casserole dish layer with any mature cheese i have in and pour over cream/milk and then put in oven for 1&1/4 hours of gas mark 4. It is gorgeous!!!! YUMMY

  absolutely gorgeous - served with slow-cooked lamb for easter dinner. cooked quicker than i was expecting it to (particularly after reading keels comment), even though i put it all in one big dish. chose this recipe because it cooked at a low temperature alongside the lamb but i'd make it again for its simplicity and depth of flavour!

  It worked perfectly for me, followed the recipe but cooked perhaps 20-30 min longer. Amazing, my chef friend was very impressed.
