Curried Grilled Chicken with Spiced Cauliflower
Pretty good! Cauliflower needed cut down quite a bit and veggies needed seasoning, but overall a decent meal.

Aleppo Spiced Cod
Fish texture on the dry side, doesn’t do well with the hot flavors.

Curried Grilled Chicken with Spiced Cauliflower
Chicken was good, cauliflower was too big and flavor not distributed. I liked the sauce, but was kind of bland. Also did not like the raisins. I hate sweet potatoes, but that my fault for not looking

Chicken Pesto Penne with Ricotta
Flavor wasn’t exactly consistent throughout. Needed more seasoning. I enjoyed the chicken and veggies with the pasta.

Stewed Moroccan Lamb Meatballs
Super good. Forgot to pour the yoghurt sauce over it and it was still delicious.
