"I had never tried making Thai curry before, wish i had known not to have a sniff of the paste as i heated it - ouch haha! I didnt have any fish sauce so didnt use it and just added a pinch of salt, also had no tomatoes or the herbs but added a little garlic and onion to the paste before adding the coconut milk. We really loved this and was also the first time we have tried squash - i will definitely cook with it again! I also used chicken breast instead of thigh, put it in at the same time as the squash and simmered for 30 mins. Perfect :)"

Frozen banana & praline parfait
8 comments
"I have never attempted anything like this before - im more of a baker, but it was amazing!! Really simple to make - even the praline which i was worried about! But i nearly bounced my food processor off the worktop trying to break it up - definitely needed doing with a rolling pin first. My fiancee was very impressed with his birthday dinner and asked when i would be entering Masterchef haha!! "

Crisp cider-braised pork belly
7 comments
"Made this Monday night - the pork was amazing and so tender it you only needed a fork to 'cut' it! However the problem i had was with the 'crisp' crackling! It seemed to just burn rather than crisp up which was really annoying as this is my favourite part usually! I never have problems with crackling on roasts and followed the recipe exactly (oil wasnt too hot) yet along with getting hot fat spat all over me i ended up with black hard crackling...any tips please??"
