It was a hit !!!

Well the recipe was a great hit !!!!!  The recipe states serves six and it does and the portions are a decent size to.I cooked it in a medium sized dish and with the generous amount of mash on top it actually took an hour in the oven not half an hour as stated in the recipe but I will say I think that was because of the dish size . I would suggest using a large dish to cut the oven time down. The lemon and Herb mash I wasn't sure about how the flavour would be but it was lovely.
Here below is the recipe ENJOY ......
