"I tried this last week. I accidentally added 3 tablespoons of tumeric after not reading the recipe correctly but luckily managed to recover most of it as it was the last thing added to the pile. I thought 8 tablespoons of cornflower was a lot as well, and ended up adding more of the liquid mixture which saved it! I also found it really hard finding black mustard seeds in my area, but they do sell them in the big supermarkets if you buy online. Having made it I think its far superior to shop bought piccalilli and would definitely make it again next year. "

"Made this last night to go with the Spicy Moroccan lamb rice dish, it was absolutely delicious, didn't change anything. "

"Made the rice only last night (should have doubled the quantity of the spices as I made more rice) but still really nice. We had lamb kebabs on the barbecue with peppers and onions with it and as another accompaniment I made the Griddled courgette salad with anchovies & capers, delicious."

"I made this last night as we have loads of squash from the allotment, highly recommended. I thought a teaspoon of olive oil was not enough so added at least a tablespoon as I didn't want the squash to dry out too much. I also added the salami 10 minutes from the end (not from the beginning) as I didn't want that cooked too much."

"I made this pie a couple of days ago, I didn't even notice that it said 175ml, I just took as 175g. I made it in an oval dish about 9inches by 6inches and the amout of pastry was exactly right. The pastry was really nice, not sweet at all, its only to cover the top. I hate shop bought pies as they are always so sweet, the pastry is always to sweet and they always put too much sugar on top and in the pie. The only thing I would have added would have been a few more apples. I only used the zest of one lemon which was less than one teaspoon."
