I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.

Hello Maureen,
Thank you for your feedback, I have checked the recipe and unfortunately the water amount was accidentally omitted from the ingredient list, consequently when you scaled the recipe down to two portions the 300ml did not recalculate. I apologise for this error, I will change that first thing in the morning.
We enjoyed this recipe for 2 people, but we found the 300ml of water was a bit too much for 150ml cream. I cooked it a bit longer to reduce the sauce.
