I made this from a zaar member last night last night and it delicious!! I also made the cheese and potato cakes from the same member and I will post this tomorrow. It is such a wonderful easy recipe to do it turns out moist and light, I served it with gravy as my men love their gravy. It was a perfect meal as My teenage son had just played his first football match with his team and they won 8-2, so a perfect meal for a champ. He loved both of the recipes and had seconds. We have a rating system out of 5 stars and this got a 5 all round. If you would like to see more photos or other reviews please click here.
