    "Lovely recipe, though I have used two tins of crab meat keeping the same quantities for the other ingredients to feed only 3 people rather than 4: I like my soups thick and chunky :). "

    "I also made the tzatziki, which was delicious, but grating the cucumber releases a lot of liquid, so I would suggest to drain it before adding the yogurt"

    "I didn't have enough time for the marinade so I kept the meat in the fridge in the lemon juice only for 20mins. The recipe was very good and it went down really well for my Greek-themed dinner party"

    "This was my first attempt at a cheesecake, and I was intrigued by the low calories. I added the lemon juice to the cheese instead od melting the gelatine in it by mistake, but I don't think it had an impact on the recipes...I had never used gelatine before and I was very nervous but it was really simple! The only difference was I used digestive biscuits for the base, but I didn't rub any butter in the crumbs (I didn't know I was supposed to!) so the base stayed very powdery - it was still delicious, just a bit tricky to eat. I would definitely make this cake again, it was fantastic!"

    The Marquess' beef & Guinness stew

    Tested

    "Beef was tougher than I expected after 2 hours (was an impromptu late lunch with friends and didnt have any more time). Where did I go wrong? Placed it too high in the oven? (fan assisted at 130C). Didn't cover with enough liquid? Served with a fresh mixed salad - was a rich enough dish without loading it with colcannon or any type of mash! "
