11YO:  8 The adventurous flavours of the spinach, spring onions and capers went surprisingly well with the bland gnochi.

Mum:  8/10  I really liked it and will cook again.

Dad: 7.5/10  “Almost there” could have done with some parmesan.”  But ate it all up.

Teenager: 6.75/10   “Pretty good, but a little ‘sour.'”
