"Perfect for when I want a lovely wholesome, home-cooked, vegetarian roast dinner. It's great fun because I can play around with the ingredients. I put different types of cheese and vegetables in, and I've even been known to add apricots and cranberries. Even my carnivorous friends and family can't resist a slice with their Sunday lunch."
