NOW CLOSED Rustle up James Martin's delicious potato dish with your child(ren) for your chance to win £50 Love2Shop vouchers

This month, James Martin has sent our MN Potato Councillors another of his delicious recipes, created especially for manyfacesofpotatoes.co.uk - Fish Cakes with Lemon & Basil Mayonnaise, ready in 30 minutes from prep to plate. The Councillors have been challenged to cook the dish for their families and share their feedback on this thread.

Manyfacesofpotatoes.co.uk say "This is the final thread for the MN Potato Councillors, so we've decided to add a bit of a twist and we're asking that our Councillors' children get stuck in too! Of course health and safety is everyone's number one priority, so we're not asking that they boil the potatoes or fry off the cakes, but getting them involved with the prep, like mashing the spuds or folding the mixture, could be lots of fun".

What's more, they are asking that, where possible, the Councillors post feedback on this thread on behalf of their children too. Please let us know: whether they enjoyed making the dish with you and what they thought of the taste.

As always, we want to give the entire MN community, and in this case your children too, the option to taste and review James' fish cakes so, even if you're not one of our MN Potato Councillors, feel free to try James' dish this week and add your feedback on this thread. If you are unable to try it please let us know your own fishcake recipe or share what you would normally serve them with.

Do tell us: how easy it was to cook, whether your family enjoyed it and if you added your own twist to the cakes - maybe you already have your very own family favourite fish cake flavour?

If you have any questions on potatoes, please post them onto the thread and we'll endeavour to answer them asap.

Everyone who does so will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £50 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks, MNHQ

Has anyone heard anything as its nearly the end of April ?

babyinacorner · 24/04/2012 13:35

No!

ClaimedByMe · 24/04/2012 13:41

nothing here!

ettiketti · 24/04/2012 18:49

Nothing here, bit annoying considering the last recipe was beginning of March!

AnnMumsnet · 24/04/2012 20:18

Sorry guys - I have been chasing this for you. Have been told the vouchers should be sent out this week. Please bear with us a bit longer and they should be with you shortly. thanks so much. A

Thanks Ann I was hoping to get my friend her 40th birthday present with some of them Smile

Has anyone had their vouchers yet ?

ettiketti · 01/05/2012 11:50

Nope :( bit rubbish innit!

moomoo1967 · 01/05/2012 15:38

it is a bit irritating especially as Ann said they were being posted last week. They would have had to have been sent Royal Mail special so that if they went missing they would be able to claim on them.

babyinacorner · 01/05/2012 20:31

Not had mine either!

AnnMumsnet · 02/05/2012 12:42

Have chased again for you ladies...so sorry

Thanks Ann it must be frustrating for you too as Mumsnet set up these competitions in good faith that the T&C are going to be met.

OvO · 08/05/2012 08:34

Has anyone received theirs yet?

There's something both on offer and limited edition I'm after but unless these vouchers arrive soon I won't be able to get. Sad

moomoo1967 · 08/05/2012 09:23

I haven't Sad

AnnMumsnet · 08/05/2012 13:56

Hi - very sorry about the L2S vouchers - there has been a complicated mix up with them but they should be on their way tomorrow. Please do let me know if you don't have them by say end of the week and I will chase again. And do enjoy spending them!

moomoo1967 · 08/05/2012 16:34

ooooh fab I am off Wed and Thur so could hit the shops Smile I should imagine they will send them RMSD like they did the grocery voucher so hopefully we may have them Thu or Fri

AnnMumsnet · 08/05/2012 16:58

OvO · 11/05/2012 14:40

Of course you have, Ann. I just didn't want to say as the others might get jealous of you being everyone's fav. Wink

johnworf, nah still not got mine. I am crossing my fingers they arrive tomorrow.

johnworf · 11/05/2012 16:15

Me too. I've got my eye on something that currently has 20% off and I'm getting worried the offer will finish before the vouchers will arrive!

ClaimedByMe · 12/05/2012 07:53

Still nothing here, I've mentally spent it ten times over!
