My Review
overall rating -
I think the five stars are pretty self-explanatory...this was by far my favourite recipe I have made! It was so easy to make and even easier to eat.
​
I was a little scared at first because I thought the fish sauce was going to be overpowering but it actually worked so well and was balanced out nicely by the honey. Originally, when I saw the word 'glazed', I presumed it was going to be a thicker coating, but it was actually quite thin. However, this wasn't a problem because it created a sauce which I could then dip my bread in.
​
This tasted delicious and was so quick to throw together. For the first time in this recipe series, I had my mum taste my dish, and she loved it as well!
