Very good meal! I loved it, my husband thought it was good, but he likes thing more spicy. Made exactly as directed and was thrilled to be able to use all the fresh things from my garden. Will try again with more heat next time. ZWT6

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
