  This had mixed reviews in our house. I halved the amount of stem ginger and i was very glad I had. It was still on the spicy side and far too strong for my husband. The kids and I still had seconds though. It wasn't a disaster but I wouldn't do it again. It's an aquired taste. I you LOVE ginger i'd recommend it.

  This is a firm favourite in our house and with guests it has gone down a storm. My partner isnt really in to puddings but will actually have some of this which says something. I would agree with Louise on reducing the stem ginger for children but I dont think you need to love ginger to like this pud.

  This is a huge hit in our house! Although it is fair to say it is very gingery, it is not too spicy and my kids (6 and 9) love it! I've made this 3 times so far and it has turned out perfectly each time.

  This is wonderful such a 'comfort' pudding. I disagree that you need to like ginger to enjoy this recipe,that's like saying you need to like vanilla to enjoy ice cream.

  Just right with the Ginger and Medjool dates and custard, making another one today it was excellent.

  We didn't think this was too gingery, but maybe we just like ginger. This was enjoyed by the whole family, plus the acid test - the child that came to tea. Perfect for a cold, winter day.

  Lovely, warming, gooey pudding. Even the kids who "don't like dates OR ginger" came back for seconds :)

  Great recipe, went down a treat. I'm not sure why anyone would think there is too much ginger in it, I thought it could've done with a bit more. I do like a bit of spice though.
