No train smash Jane, it’s all about making it to your taste.. enjoy it and lekker weekend G
How many does this serve? I need to feed 16 people so should I times by 4?
Hi lisa, this will serve 4-6 people quite comfortably depending on what you serve it with and I must say I love it with a nice wide pasta like papardelle so 3 times should be ample. Have a great one, G
