"Forgot to mention it's difficult to get haddock in Asia so I used cod instead."

"Wonderful and simple recipe! I didn't bother with spinach and soft cheese as I like my veggie to have a cleaner taste so replaced that with a fresh salad with red wine vinegar instead. Generous on the parmesan on top of the tomatoes and turn on the grill half way to brown the cheese somewhat. I served it with mashed potato and pumpkin according to the recipe of mashed potato in the"goes well with" and it was tasty. My husband who always prefers meat to fish cleaned the plate."

"An update from my post y'day: I made the brulee the night before as the recipe said it could be made a day in advance... However, the following night when I served the brulee, it didn't taste as silky and smooth. So I would suggest to make it the day you wan to have it. Also, can someone let me know how to use the blowtorch? I tried it twice now but the sugar either didn't get melted and caramelized or just got burned! Welcome any advice on this. "

"My 1st creme brulee and it was wonderful! The brulee was so tasty, just like everyone's comment - smooth and light. I didn't have any vanilla pod so just added a teaspoonful of vanilla extract and it turned out great. I tried using the the blow torch but the top became very watery and the sugar didn't seem to crystalized well. Perhaps I need to let it sit for a bit after heating it up. Will try the blow torch again tonight when serving my guest tonight! Made 4 brulee and since only 3 of us tonight so used one last night to test it! Will do it again for sure."

"Great and simple! I used borlotti beans instead of chickpeas and also added some chopped carrots in with a little bit of corn and a couple of spoons of harissa. Added a piece of really dry prosciutto which had sat in the fridge for about 6 weeks. Served with the Cheesy Garlic bread in this website. All came out good. Great for quick dinner!"
