"I really liked the soup - it was really easy, quick and made a tasty lunch for me and my pops from stuff in the freezer/cupboard. He loved it too, so all good as he is a tough guest to please. Plus I used chunks of roast ham which was leftover from the sunday roast, which was delicious. But the pea and potato idea worked a treat. Yes it was a bit thick, but I just watered it down a bit with some stock. Recommend for a quick easy soup. Yum. Oh I added a bit of fresh mint - which was lovely - just about 4-5 leaves from the garden, which made it a bit lighter, summery and lunchy. Thanks!"

"This recipe is delicious. I made 2 cakes at the same time - one for my mums birthday party and family, and one for my friends and home. I added Crunchie nuggets onto the family one becase my mum is a Crunchie fan and it made it a bit more child friendly for my nephews - it was a total success. I just stuck the nuggets around the cake onthe icing and put a load of them in the centre - it made it a bit nobbly but the texture was really tasty. The other cake was taken into work by my partner and they couldnt believe it was so good - people were suggesting I sell it to local restaurants and cafes - they were a huge demand for more. All in all it was fairly easy to make, you can add bits in to make it more child friendly, and personal, use white or mllk chocolate curls for a more colourful look and I found it to be a total winner! I am making another one today for a girlie lunch tomorrow its so good."
