  Extremely quick to make, don't scrimp on the chorizo as it really flavours the rice

  This was a gorgeous meal, made in a flash and enjoyed by all, including my 1 year old! Ok so it's not paella in the true sense, but who cares. We loved it!

  a very tasty 'rice' dish. surprisingly rich and filling. added loads of peas and prawns for colour and interest. I'm usually a bit suspicious of dishes that combine meat with fish - but this one turned out great! great cold with salad the next day too...

  Really disappointed - no flavour to it whatsoever - so bland. The rice measurements are also completely out - I ended up throwing two thirds of it away. Definitely wont cook again - not a good one for me.

  ok, so it's not technically paella, but who really cares, it tastes GORGEOUS! The people saying it has no taste must have done something wrong.

  This may not have been paella but it was extremely tasty and quick to make. I used green beans instead of peas and it went down very well with my 2 yr old. Will be making this again soon!!!!!!

  Of course it is not paella, and I wouldn't have expected it to be but it tasted lovely and was a big hit with the whole family! I added far more chorizo than stated which worked. Perfect mid-week dinner when you are in a hurry!!
