"My first ham ever and it was super delicious! I bought a smoked half joint with out bone and used exactly the same water of spice for cooking the ham. Everybody loves it!"

"Easy to make and my husband loves it!! I used a mix of sweet potato and potato for the toppings and added some chilli flakes into the mince. I am not a big fan of shepherd's pie but my husband is looking forward to eating the leftover..!!!"

"A wonderful dish! So easy to make! I used dried thyme, parsley and a bit of stale(!) rosemary. Couldn't find any shallots or pearl onions but used small red onions instead. Did put beef stock instead of water. Oven is not working so just cooked it in the Dutch oven on stove for 1.5 hr. It came out perfect - meat was melting in mouth and flovour was wonderful. Served it with steamed green beans and some crusty bread grilled on stove with italian herb and olive oil! Going to make it again for a dinner party!"

"Dead easy to cook with great flavour! Didn't bother with the use of butter, used dried thyme instead of fresh. Served it with some mashed spud and green. Great for party as well! Certainly will do it again."

"It's a good and simple recipe indeed! I saw others' comments so used 3 lemons' zest and 2 limes' zest, juice of 2 lemon. I, too, added ground almond to the biscuit base and also a pinch of nutmeg and cinnimon. I used fully cream cheese and still it tasted very light. I didn't have enough time to leave the cake in the oven to cool down completely so there were cracks on top but I covered it up with the sour cream topping. I mixed in 3 tbsp of lemon curd into the sour cream and then added another 2-3 tbsp on top once the cream was spread on top of cake. It looked great and tasted cream. Great for summer. Will make it again for sure."
