Okay, we did like this, but, it was too sweet for us. I did stick to recipe, so, I dont know, we dont have particularly sweet teeth, but at the same time, this seemed excessivley sweet. I also would have preferred the ingredients to be laid out more logically, the cornflour especially I had to make a bit of a guess about which amount applied where. For an inexperienced chef this might be a bit daunting. I used snowpeas and baby corn, I liked the previous reviewers use of bell pepper and would do that another time. I think in future I would drastically cut down on the sugar used, and then add a little more according to taste, if I thought it necessary. We did enjoy it, and thank you for sharing. made for PRMR tag game

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
