"Terrific recipe - used homemade spaghetti with pasta making attachments from KitchenAid for the pasta - see 'how to make italian pasta' on google. Jamie is one of my heroes, he is out there trying to make a difference on how we eat instead of lounging around and coining it with his shows and other business interests. In addition his recipes are ""

"Well it was very good BUT 30 mins to cook the lentils! Way too short - maybe in a pressure cooker - but not on top of the stove. We had this soup in Patara, Turkey and it's a wonder of flavor and very satisfying. Loved it!"

"The flaky pastry is really good and easy to make in a food processor - don't use store bought pastry shells, it's too much of a compromise. Also try using creme fraiche instead of half and half, that's what they use in France. Agree with others about the adaptability of the basic recipe. All in all though an excellent recipe."
