"Had to give this five stars. Made it for a school fayre and it had all sold out within the first ten minutes. One man bought ten slices to take home! Was beautifully moist and yet light at the same time. And the combination of carrot and coconut works surprisingly well. Would agree with previous comments that 30 minutes is not enough cooking time, though. Mine took closer to 45. Also found the topping very crumbly. Most of it fell off in transit. Love Abi's idea of a mascarpone topping. Will try that or buttercream next time. Thanks! "

"Great-tasting quiche, especially considering the relatively short list of ingredients. Given that my husband has to watch his cholesterol levels, I replaced the double cream with a 200g tub of low fat creme fraiche and 100ml soya milk and it worked surprisingly well. "

"Ultimate is the word! The curd filling is surprisingly easy to makes and is just gorgeous. The orange juice adds a lovely depth to it. My meringue went a little flat but I think this was more to do with my leaving it for too long before adding the sugar than anything else. Divine!!!"

"Quite nice. Couldn't find mascarpone lite so bought normal....then when I came to cook it found all the mascarpone had been used up in something else so ended up using low fat cream cheese, which worked really well. Might add asparagus or mangetout next time as well as the peas. "

"Was very sceptical as it sounded a bit too simple on paper. But the result was really tasty. I used roasted red pepper pesto and it worked really well. The kids polished it off in record time!"
