    "Absolute rubbish, very bland and boring. Cooked exactly as instructed but it was so bad the only place for it was the bin. Disappointing after all these positive reviews. Would recommend ribs and cabbage instead if you're looking for something simple and tasty that uses cabbage. All you need is savoy cabbage, good ham ribs from the butcher, boiling water, salt and pepper! "

    "I may be at fault here for being a numpty and missing something but mine turned out like really sweet nutty quiches! Yuck to say the least. I expected a gooey syrup kind of filling, like sarah said, something richer. Don't know if you're meant to use just egg yolks or the yolk and albumen but this recipe implies the latter and I think using the whole egg might have ruined it. Note to self: always cross reference recipes!!!"

    "Went down a storm with my partner and I. This recipe taught me how to make a decent risotto and for that I'll always use it as my benchmark. The dried porcini makes this very very rich so if you use the full 25g you may want to forgo the optional parmesan and change chestnuts to buttons or reduce the volume of the former. If you stick to the recipe by the letter I think it might be best served as a small starter/appetizer. You know what they say, too much of a good thing... "

    Feta-crusted lamb with rich tomato sauce

    Tested

    "Without a doubt one of the best dishes I've eaten. Perfectly balanced between the sweet and the savoury, easy to prepare, beautiful to look at and what a sauce!!! Just amazing. Served it with leeks and mushrooms fried together in butter instead of faffing about with rice or 'lemony greens'. The ideal supper for a cold spring night. -m "

    Houmous-crusted lamb with lentil salad

    Tested

    "Hi, thanks for posting this. Had the dish today and thought it was wonderful... it put lentils in a whole new light. Very fresh and tasty, also really really (can't stress it enough) really straight forward to prepare. Went without the houmous for the lamb, just a bit of seasoning and cooked it the way I prefer (browning in a pan then a hot oven for 6mins or so). Very good option for a filling but light lunch. "
