  These were very tasty. Didn't make the salsa but added chopped coriander to the corn cake mixture. Served with sausages, bacon and tomato. Everyone liked this.

  I made these without the avacado salsa, and added chopped corriander to the cake mix. They were delicious, served with a fresh salad and balsamic vinigar. Such a quick and tasty meal, I will be making this again very soon!

  Maybe it's because I didn't bother with the salsa but I was REALLY disappointed with this recipe. Bland. There's nothing more to say. Won't bother again.

  I make these all the time - they are deeelicious :) I often serve them with tomato salsa and grilled bacon rashers for the non-vegos!

  Horribly bland. Did not make the avocado salsa though.

  I made these without the salsa, and thought they were great. I think the key is good-quality sweetcorn, lots of nice strong spring onions, and lots of salt and pepper. I also added a bit of coriander as suggested and they turned out really nicely.

  I made these to serve with vegetarian chilli and baked potatoes. The corn cakes in particular received lots of compliments. I made the salsa which was a bit bland but went well with the meal as it was quite refreshing.

  Interesting. Made this as a light lunch for one; didn't have any spring onion so substituted shallots which worked fine. Also added a bit of parsley and lots of seasoning. Served with avocado and lime juice tossed salad. Corn cakes were nice but nothing special. I did use frozen sweetcorn though.

  Really enjoyed these, but did add an extra egg and a dash of milk to get what I thought was a better consistency. Having read the other comments, I also used a red chilli - three quarters in the batter mix and the rest in the salsa. Would also make a good brunch dish.
