My 12 year old daughter said "this is gorgeous" (never had such high praise in 12 years!) - 14 May 2010
brilliant recipe, the bones just fell out of the meat... you don't need to carve it.. just a fork and a spoon and pull it apart.. my flatmates loved it, with roast potatoes, gravy, green beans and honey and mint glazed carrots. will make plenty of tasty sanny's later aswell - 11 Dec 2011
It fell apart when I tranferred it from one tray to the other, which says how tender it was. Great success. - 18 Jul 2010
