Crazy Squirrel is a weird old website. I think it's stopped updating now, but who knows? How will their CBH match up?

Ease & Effort:
Very simple but very well defined. Precise instructions which would make it easy for a novice chef or cook to follow. Very impressed with the slicing and dicing directions. I was very doubtful about the 1cm of water, but was equally amazed that it boiled down nicely. I used a really awful pan though, so I transferred the mixture to a good, non-stick pan. Adding the extra bits was simple. All in all, clear and easy! Score TBN.
Presentation:
It looked rather tasty (and smelled great). All the ingredients mixed together splendidly, cooking down to a lovely consistency that allowed it to stick messily together. The addition of the leek added a little extra interest. Very good! Score TBN.
Taste:
This CBH tasted as nice as it looked. Obviously the squirrel who wrote the recipe is not as crazy as he claims to be. This was the only method that cooked everything in the same pan, but using boiling AND frying , and the result was a moist, well balanced, slightly spicy meal. The onions were reinforced by the leek to compliment the carrot and potato., and this was one of the best versions in the competition. Score TBN.
