"I used just a teaspoon of chilli, rather than the tablespoon suggested in the recipe - this was more than hot enough for my children. My daughter is veggie, I found it easy to adapt this recipe so that we could all eat a very similar meal and with little extra effort on my part. We served it with couscous and greens. yum."

"I left my daughter to make this one. She is 13 and able to follow a recipe on her own, but not the most competent cook in the world. She found the recipe frustrating as she had no idea how to measure 6 tbsp butter. In the end she melted a half a pack of butter and measured 6 tbsp using a measuring spoon. This wasn't nearly enough butter so she added the rest of the stuff that she had melted - a bit hit and miss and I expect better from Good Food recipes, especially those flagged up as ideal for children. She was also frustated that the recipe didn't state the size of tin that she should use. I have a wide variety of tins so again it was a bit hit and miss. Okay for experienced cooks but not ideal for a beginner. The end result was delicious. "
