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

Nope, nothing here either! Where are they ffs?!

ettiketti · 13/05/2012 07:19

Still no vouchers. They're behaving very shabbily aren't they?

johnworf · 13/05/2012 12:27

AnnMumsnet can you chase this up (again)? The natives are getting restless Smile

Thanks.

Its awful that the Manyfacesofpotatoes have not kept to their agreement as we all did as we were asked, bought the ingredients, cooked the recipe and gave our feedback. I promised DD a new pair of trainers and a swimsuit for the new term back on 14th April

AnnMumsnet · 13/05/2012 17:43

So sorry guys.....have chased again for you Sad

Thank You Ann Thanks and thank you Manyfacesofpotatoes.co.uk

Woohoo! My vouchers arrived at 07:04 this morning! [sleepy smiley

Dh and I were fast asleep; luckily ds1 wandered in asking why the doorbell was ringing...

Thank you Ann for chasing (and chasing and chasing...) this for us; Thanks for all your efforts, they are much appreciated. And thank you too to ManyfacesofPotatoes for a great 'product test' - I really enjoyed having a recipe to try pop up in the post each month and the rest of the family loved it too! (and we're all still eating lots of potatoes!)

Thank you so much, the vouchers came today! The dds claim they should have them as they had to eat my spuddy efforts, but I have other plans :)

OvO · 15/05/2012 15:33

Thank you to MNHQ and TMFOP for this product test. I really enjoyed it and we now eat potatoes about 3 times more than we used to! My potato hating 4 year old ate 1.5 potatoes a few weeks agoShock

I've already spent my vouchers. Grin

I have a card but have been unable to get to the sorting office to see what is there for me, so am presuming it is the vouchers

moomoo1967 · 20/05/2012 11:56

Thank you I finally managed to get them yesterday Smile
