"We substitute Soy Cream instead of milk or cream. And instead of Nutmeg we use White Pepper. Butter, and full salted butter, is something that can't be substituted in your mash. And as one of my friends used to put in her mash, 'Cream Cheese' has NO place in mashed potatoes."

"This is like a Cannelloni recipe with unsweetened pancakes instead of Cannelloni Pasta Tubes. Not sure I'd want to give this a try, since I could only imagine the pancakes going really soggy. I'd love to hear some comments from others that may have tried this before I attempt it."

"We really didn't like this one, it tasted too much of pesto and nothing else. We won't be making this one again."

"The wife liked this one, I didn't. I also thought that I drained it a bit too much as it's more of a thick chutney consistency than ketchup or what's in the picture. Don't know whether I'd do this again. Don't get me wrong, three people that have tried this, really, really loved it. I guess it's just me that doesn't."

"We're very eager to try this one, as I'm a big fan of making my own condiments and mixed ingredients instead of buying them off the shelf with all sorts of mysterious and some not so mysterious additives and preservatives in them. If there is a flavouring to be slapped into my sauce, I want to know what that flavouring is. My big question is a cross culture question... The recipe asks for 3 tbsp of tomato puree; is that tomato 'paste'? the kind you get in a tube or small jar, which is a very potent tomato additive for recipes. or is it tomato puree as in tomatoes pureed in a blender? Coming from Malta, our shelves are awash with products from all across europe, but mostly Italian products, so we have Tomato 'Polpa' which is Tomatoes that are cubed in a can or jar that you would use in a bolognese or thick tomato sauce, and then there is tomato 'passata' which you would use as a pizza sauce or some other types of thin pasta sauces."
