"I made this this very morning for a surprise breakfast in bed for my boyfriend's birthday. We absolutely LOVED it!! I used a bit more spinach and brie, though. We loved these so much that we ended up having two "sandwiches" each! I think it's crucial to use really good quality croissants, make sure they are not too crumbly when you bite into it, but nice, buttery and soft. Alongside freshly squeezed OJ and some fresh blackberries - a perfect breakfast! "

"Made this last night and loved it. I did make some changes: I used arborio rice because that's what I had in the pantry, I used a 300 g pack of frozen seafood so I added 200-250 g more of fresh calamari. I added the seafood together with the peas, so it would cook a bit longer than 2 mins. Also, along with turmeric, I added a good pinch of saffron threads, and when the meal was done, I added juice of half a large lemon just to give it a fresher taste, a squeeze of liquid chili sauce and chopped fresh parsley. It took me 30 mins from start to finish, there is not much work involved, which was fantastic; this is a really good weeknight meal. Plus I packed it in my lunchbox for work."
