"Also, I must think that Ramsay really loves his leeks... because 4 leeks were simply overpowering... and I'm not exactly a fan of that type of flavour, though I thought a moderate amount wouldn't have hurt... but this was a real battering of leeks! I think I'd replace it with asparagus next time. Spiced pears were fine and I didn't have a stockpot for making the stock, so I had to make do with Knorr! Overall, this was probably too advanced for me, but I'd definitely challenge myself again when I get better at the art!"

"Just tried making this and it's not exactly a success... but then again I'm a beginner cook trying to escape the confines of university-student food and takeaways. I used a loaf pan that I'm guessing was slightly bigger than the one used by the recipe, and I'm also thinking that the gelatine leaves Ramsay used are much bigger than the one I used-- because when I cut the terrine, the half close to the top of the dish did not hold but the bottom did, indicating that the gelatine settled and was not enough for the whole loaf pan."
