Very nice in taste, though quite work-intensive, mostly due to the fact that you need to grill the asparagus and all those thin slices of courgette in quite a lot of batches.

It wasn't excellent in taste, although I have the suspicion that that was because we mixed it a tupperware and took it to work. It ended up tasting oily and not very fresh. Also, we used goat's cheese as we couldn't get hold of manouri - I think goat's cheese is too soft, and I would really like to try manouri!

Really delicious combination of flavours. I ignored the vat of oil that was called for and used a light drizzle of the garlicky basil oil dressing on the tomatoes before roasting and a light brushing of it on the vegetables before grilling; no more was needed apart from that. Loved the grilled salty cheese (halloumi) with it.

Haha, love the expression 'vat of oil'! Some of these recipes do call for a lot of oil, though it's not always really necessary. Maybe I should give this one another try...
