Ratings

0-4 – Dear, oh dear. If we tell Diego, he’s going to be so disappointed…

5-8 – That’s more like it! The kind of result that would get a firm nod of approval from Diego and maybe, just maybe, the hint of a smile…

9-12 – Magnifico! If Diego was in your kitchen right now, he’d be body-popping on the tiles!
