    "I used frozen berries straight from the freezer which worked v well and turned it into a store cupboard classic. Will def make again as recipe was spot on apart for the cooking times. Mine took around 85 mins in an electric oven. I paniced a bit coz it didn't look like there was enough mixture covering the 1st layer but it rose up beautifully in the end. I kept it in the fridge for the 1st day but it seemed to dry out - just in the kitchen in an airtight container was fine. In fact it kept really well (it's a big cake and there are only two of us!)"

    Butternut squash & sage risotto

    Tested

    "Very nice indeed. Didn't need all of the liquid or all of the time until my rice was done. Just pressed on my roasted squash with the back of a fork and it mashed up nicely. Very easy and a good supper with a nice green salad. Would make again."

    "How about elderflower cordial mixed with soda or sparkling water? Haven't tried it but just an idea.... "

    Leek & sage risotto with crisp bacon

    Tested

    "This was very easy to make compared to all the attention a normail risotto demands. I did stir for the last 5 mins tho (mine took a little longer than 10-12 mins - more like 15) to release the starch from the rice and make it creamier. I then finished with the cheese and beat in a nob of butter which is good with the leeks. It needed plenty of pepper and was yummy. I didn't have bacon so i topped with a couple or organic sausages per plate which worked well. Whole thing on a plate in less than 20 mins...fab!"
