Yum! A very good recipe. A little bit spicy for my kids' taste, but we mixed it with chicken and that dulled the heat for them. And we all got a great laugh when my daughter asked why we were eating FLOAM for dinner... Priceless!

This was very good! It has a sweet and spicy flavour to it - which is really nice. It might be nice to add some cannellini or something to make it a vegetarian main course!
