    Neil Perry, you are a genius...:) I am from Perth, I have lived here 10 years on and off, originally from Melbourne, I have just returned from our two week summer hols in Busselton...On the way back to Perth I picked up two marron from a shop in Carbunup next door to a fuel station and convenience store and guess what....I used your recipe to cook the marron...Did it to perfection because it was easily one of the best dishes I have ever cooked and eaten in a very long time....period...I love cooking and eating the best but this recipe was just Heaven...Thank you, I am a fan forever...By the way, I added one grated clove of garlic to the onion, used butter rather than olive oil and added wine, Sweet Margaret 2006 from Watersheed Wineries in Margaret River next door to the Amaz'n where we spent a day having a picnic with out son....Well done, Thank you, Gabriela and family....Long live the Margaret River region, a jewel.....
