"Easy to make - I made these with a group of parents and year 1 kids during our Healthy Eating session. Both parents and kids loved them and they stored well in container in fridge. Great non-cook recipe."

"Go Gordon - this is fab. I have made this some 3-4 times and my husband (who believed he could not eat pork) is truly converted. A really easy recipe, and freezes well after the 'con fit' stage. Try this one too - Take a half shoulder of lamb, rubbed with oil, salt and pepper and stuffed with chopped garlic. Place on a bed of rosemary, in a tin and wrap tightly in foil. Cook on low (140°) for 4 hrs. Tale out and rest for further 20 mins and then peel back top layer of fat to reveal lovely moist flaky melt-in-the-mouth lamb. Flake with fork and serve piled up next to roasties and Mediterranean veg! Lovely "

"I made this ahead and had a go at freezing it (I think it suggests not to do this but if you leave off the fruit and nuts at the last stage and wrap in foil to freeze - it works perfectly). Once defrosted I just made up some pecans and cranberries and mixed them with a little brown sugar and cinnamon to sprinkle on top- this works a treat. This cake tastes superb and all my guests were very impressed - I have just eaten the last piece as I write this and will definitely make again !"

"I made this with my four year old one evening for a girls drinks party at Christmas and have frozen it! it is the first time I have frozen a cake as well as been so organised as to make it ahead! Will let you know what it comes out like on the night but it looks lovely and my daughter commented on how 'Christmassy' it looked!"
