"A fabulous chutney! I love beetroot and found that the flavour of the orange complements the beetroot beautifully and doesn't get swamped by it. I added four cloves of garlic and about 5 cardamom pods as well - just because I like them :-) I added a bit to the cooking time too as I don't like chutneys too runny - about 7 minutes on a higher boil, stirring all the time. Result? Wonderful - we'll be enjoying this with a leg of lamb this Christmas! "

"This has to be one of the nicest soups I have ever tasted. It has such interesting depth of flavour but doesn't overwhelm. I added the juice of the lemon as well as the grated peel and it's just delicious. We ate some and I froze some and the flavour of the frozen soup was just as delicious as the batch that hadn't been frozen. If anything, the flavours were more defined, with the lemon coming more to the fore. I will most definitely be making and freezing this again :-)"

"Lovely chutney, but I doubled the amount of spices and ginger and used three red chillies (deseeded) instead of one. Result? Fabulous!"

"What a fabulous cake! It is solid with chocolate and is so easy to make it's a dream! Total luxury, total indulgence and you'll never want to eat any other chocolate cake after you've tasted this one!"

"Lovely! I went out of my way, this time, to use all the ingredients listed. Even the pastry was successful - hoorah! Normally, I have won accolades as "The World's Worst Pastry Cook". The tart is super-tasty and it is easy to make although quite time consuming."
