  1. Yum, it sounds too good I shall have to try it. The Henergy eggs that you use Helen are indeed lovely eggs with a homely story on the box, that sold it for me, it gave me a sense that the family take pride in their hens

  2. I included this in our Christmas dinner to ensure I catered to a vegetarian relative. It was so delicious my father-in-law (not the vegetarian) went back for second helpings. It was the only dish I didn’t have any leftovers of!
