    I added dill and parsley which really gave the source a great flavour. After this maybe becoming a veggie aint so bad :-)

    This is a top veggie recipe and a great way to use up a glut of courgettes. I used a mix of cheddar and parmesan instead of gruyere (although I was slightly more generous than the recipe) and it still works brilliantly. It's much more filling than it sounds, making a perfect central dish served with a green salad.

    I found this really bland and a bit watery, it would be better I think if the courgettes and tomatoes were oven roasted first and then layered and baked, it has potential though.

    I liked the flavours in this dish but I made it in a dish that was too big so there wasn't much overlapping of the sliced vegetables. I think it would have worked better in a smaller dish as suggested in the recipe.
