I so like easy recipes and this one looks fancy and impresses the family or friends. The cooking process which I thought might a little tricky but was very easy. I really like the way Guy prepares meals. They are simple but have so much flavor and are so asthetically pleasing to the eye. He always says we eat with our eyes first. So True!
