"After reading the other comments about the time this took to set, I made this the night before my dinner party and by the morning it had set nicely. It is, I agree, very very sweet, so do serve in small portions. I actually whizzed the strawberries through the blender roughly for a couple of seconds so they were more like a puree which I think worked well. Regarding the basil, this is obviously a really personal taste, I used just two leaves and actually found you couldn't really taste it at all, so next time I'd use more and be less cautious. Having said that, my guests really enjoyed it, with one saying she felt like she was in a top restaurant! (if only I'd had the waiters to match!) It's real 'fine dining impressive', but ever so simple really. "

"This has become a midweek summer staple for me. Really easy, I recommend it. I usually squeeze a bit more lemon over the entire plate just before eating so it's not as dry."

"This was delicious and so easy to make. I made it the night before my dinner party and left it in the fridge and all the flavours had permeated even more. Give it a go! "
