    "Really enjoyed this quick, tasty recipe. Had plain couscous in the cupboard so used this instead - should've added some lemon zest to add to the flavour but will do this next time. Herb I chose was thyme and didn't think it went so well so will try another. Fillets were quite thick so needed almost 20 mins. Will definitely be cooking this one again! "

    "Really fast delicious dinner. I cut chicken breasts into really thin strips so it cooked in no time at all. Followed my own recipe for the couscous, and just made sure I had enough stock left over to add to the chicken - used enough to make the sauce to the consistency I wanted. Didn't want to add anything else like wine as there are enough flavours going on with the cumin and chutney. Did add baby sweetcorn and mange tout that I already had in the fridge. Will make it again, and maybe try rice instead."

    "Really enjoyed this especially as it used the exact ingredients I had. Adjusted this for just 2 of us, and only used a small amount of pesto as I don't like too much. Also, the beans were frozen so microwaved them and then added them as the same time as pesto. Will cook this again!"

    Mango & vanilla terrine with strawberry sauce

    "Thought this was very tasty - the only bad point was that when I was serving it, the ice cream layer melted quite quickly, leaving the fruit layer behind. Easy to make though."

    "Surprised at the rating of this recipe as I found this very bland - tasted more of tomatoes than of curry. Very disappointed!"
