    Fab!! I cooked the whole of this menu (ok I didn't make the bread) and it was brilliant. Everything complimented each other so well, the lemon potato salad was a star and the lamb was tender and so tasty. I cooked the aubergine in the oven and rather than collapse it exploded so it's probably a good idea to prick it beforehand. Such a nice change to have a themed bbq that works well rather than the usual burger/hot dogs. I'll def do this again and will do the potato salad as dish for a buffet. Flag as inappropriate

    If you add a teaspoon of turmeric to the potatoes, when boiling, they will take on a more lemony colour too!

    I really liked the flavours in this, it smelt wonderful and it was a nice change to the standard mayonnaise based potato salad which I can feel going straight to my thighs :) , but found it a little dry. Might try again...

    Flavours are fab, but it needs more Olive Oil for moisture. I served it on an oval platter, edged with salad leaves with the potato salad down the centre and sprinkled with Bombay Mix, everyone loved it!

    Was having a barbecue with at least one vegan attending...and as I'm not a fan of mayonnaise-y potato salads anyway I jumped at the opportunity to find a decent vegan recipe, and this was perfect. Went down a storm - though next time I'll make a little bit less dressing as there was quite a bit of liquid left in the bottom of the bowl.

    Made this twice now as part of different buffets and went down really well. Just a bit different than the normal potato salad. I added a pinch of tumeric to cooking water as suggested and pots took on a lovely yellow colour
