  Really tasty savoury bread. It took much longer than 25 minutes to cook - more like 40 mins.

  Took about 35 minutes rather than 25 to bake, quite easy to make but out of 6 dinner guests only two thought it was OK. The texture is quite nice but the cornmeal flavour is very strong.

  Really good for mopping up chilli, used red onion which gave it a bit more flavour and natural yoghurt instead of buttermilk.

  I think the thing is with cornmeal/polenta based things, you have to try it a few times before you "get" it. I personally love adding cheese to the soft cornmeal instead of flour, chilling it until firm, then browning it off by dry frying either side. Probably lots more unhealthy, but mountains tastier than plain cornbread. It's made for mopping up tasty juices anyways though, in my opinion :)

  Very tasty and satisfying cornbread - good with chilli con carne and veg chilli too. I made a few changes/embellishments to the recipe - I added a drained can of sweetcorn, a tsp of paprika (next time I might be bold and add cayenne) and a tsp of dried oregano, and some ground black pepper. I used skimmed milk with lemon juice added to acidulate it, and found I didn't need quite the quantity specified for buttermilk in this recipe. I found it cooked in the specified amount of time, no problems, but then it might have been slightly thinner because I used a square baking tin. I lined it with baking parchment and was very glad of that! The texture of this cornbread is quite cakey, but it is very pleasant eating, especially warm from the oven. Definitely a recipe to tweak and add different flavours - eg coriander, cheese, chilli, cumin?

  made this today and followed the previous reviewer's advise and tweaked it: i put in some grated parmisan cheese chilli flakes, little bit of garlic and rosemary and it was lovely. next time I think though I will keep it really simple and just put in more parmesan or even cheddar. Loved the soft texture. will definitely make it again
