This is a disgusting recipe. The taste, texture, and aroma are all hideous. How this no-talent clown managed to win a show... is beyond me.Read more

Disappointing
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I wanted to love this recipe after I saw the judges rave over it but honestly the dressing had no flavor at all. I was very... disappointed. I took it to a dinner party and no one commented on it.Read more

Really, really good salad
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I generally dislike cabbage, but this stuck in my head from the show after hearing the judges raving about it. So we tried it... and its actually surprisingly good! My only suggestions would be to go light on the red onion as it can be really overpowering if you get too many, and then also to chop the cabbage up into bite-sized pieces or its kind of hard to keep everything on the fork - making for awkward eating! Thanks Guy and I can't wait to see your new show!!Read more
