  Quite nice but apart from the chilli-taste I found it a bit bland. Will add a pinch of salt and maybe some dried herbs next time.

  Tora I made this and added red peppers, sweet corn, marjoram, spring onions and sprinkled mozzarella on top. It was glorious.

  I totally agree with Tora. It was just a dense mass of bland nothingness. I've tried chilli powder and ground cumin to spice it up

  I found this really tasty and a great alternative to normal bread! The only mistake I made was to cook the above recipe for just the two of us and we got a little sick of it after day two! Would definitely advise to cook it for big family meal or for a large number to ensure it's eaten when really fresh.

  Try adding grated cheddar it adds a slightly saltiness to the bread that makes it delicious!

  As per the reviews above, it wasn't that tasty on it's own despite adding some salt and pepper, but I had made it to go with the Chilli Con Carne as a recommended addition and boy was it good dipped in the sauce. Will definately make again.

  Having read the other comments I added a heaped tsp of caraway seeds, a tsp of tumeric and a tsp each of dried oregano and tarragon. It came out smelling amazing and went really well with our chilli con carne. Good basic recipe which can be easily adapted!

  I noted the other comments about being a bit bland & added marjoram & red peppers, not a fan to be honest. It was OK, dipped in the chilli, wouldn't make it again.

  A really nice recipe - it is fairly bland but is perfect with something spicy like chilli. It's like saying bread is bland - it just depends what you're going to serve it with. I'll definitely make it again.

  I can see that this cornbread might be bland alone but it went beautifully with the spicy beef stew I made. I stuck to the original recipe and used fully skimmed milk and low fat yoghurt and the result was great. It baked really nicely and was easy to do.
