"Really, really good! Just the right combination of flavours. I would agree with other posters who suggested cutting the apricots up into small pieces, but it's just a matter of personal preference. I'll definitely make this again."

"I tried this recipe a couple of nights ago with a friend and we had mixed success. The chicken was really nice and crispy, and the butternut squash was cooked perfectly. However, my main complaint would be the fact that the sauce is very watery. Without anything to thicken it, it is like a very thin gravy rather than a sauce. The taste of the sauce was also overwhelmingly of saffron, despite only using a small pinch. I have to say that it was much nicer the next day, heated up in a saucepan which caused the butternut squash to break down and thicken the sauce, as well as a good helping of crushed almonds. I would be interested to hear if other people had similar/different experiences."

Best-ever brownies
509 comments
"These are really amazing, I doubled the quantities and made a big batch which required longer in the oven - about 45 minutes in the end. But they were incredibly delicious - my housemates keep pestering me to make them again! I added some Thorntons vanilla fudge cubes (three bags of the children's ones) which melted as the brownies cooked and would highly recommend this if you want to add something different. Make these - you won't regret it!"
