bfo's Note:

I saw this recipe on the TV and fancy making it. I needed somewhere to store the recipe till I get the chance to make it. It looked so tasty that I thought others may also be interested. (measurements are in both metric and imperial since i'm in the UK and when you buy stuff in the shops it's in Metric)
