Oh yummy! And it doesn't take much time of actual preparation, mainly oven time - fab!
another winner with my little boy. I was careful with the ginger at first but he seemed to love it. One little tip that i think is good is that ginger in water is a great way to flavour boring old water. Just a thought?..I drank it I think in Thailand..when i was staying in a temple - really refrreshing and good for you..
delicious delicious delicious. I think me and my husband will be using this recipe for us rather than the children!
You can also cook this on the barbeque in the summer - just put a double wrapping of foil around the squash for extra protection and place it on the coals - takes about 45 minutes.
