Wow, I made this today and it's delicious, I used shitake and chestnut mushrooms and they worked extremely well we both loved the flavour and the nutty taste it really is a must for Xmas day or any day. I certainly will be making this in the foreseeable future thank you Quorn.

I am the only vegetarian at my Christmas dinner table so I made this for myself. I was extremely .... extremely happy with the way it turned out. When I first saw the recipe a week ago, I was eager to make it as I regularly use Quorn products in my food and love the meaty texture.

Made this for Christmas day and it was loved by all, very meaty flavour. Non veggies would like this. I think its good for just a Sunday roast too
