"really easy to make, i couldn't get a seville so i just used an ordinary unwaxed orange. couldn't bring myself to use double cream for the ganache either so I used half fat creme fraiche instead. to decorate I took big-ish strips of zest off another orange and dipped the pieces in caster sugar then arranged on top of the ganache, looked fabulous!! was told that the cake tasted even better the following day - more fudgey. will definitely make again"

"Really easy and very very tasty, i had to make a quick dash to the pudding table to grab a slice before it was all polished off. I used 2/3 light cream cheese and 1/3 ordinary but I'm sure it would work fine with all light. next time I will also try using whipping cream instead of double to reduce the calories ever so slightly plus i will use a splash of vanilla extract if i don't have a pod handy. once i'd added the runny cream to the mix i kept whisking it until it thickened up again and i had no problems with it setting. used a punnet of blueberries heated gently with a splash of water and 3 heaped teaspoons of icing sugar until the skins just started to burst then left to cool. looked and tasted wonderful."

"my all time fave soup recipe from GF, hearty warming and full of flavour. not sure why other reviewers found it to be bland and tasteless. i have made this on countless occasions and all who have tried it love it."

"this worked like a dream - followed the recipe exactly, wasn't at all difficult so don't be put off by the "keen cook" rating. my pastry was probably a little too short, ended up having to make a patchwork quilt to get it in the tin. end result was fantastic though I will definitely be doing this one again. needed something to cut through the chocolate so we had some clotted cream on the side for extra indulgence. YUM!"
