    "As a follow-on from yesterday - husband (a non-cook!) is making this cake today as I refused to let him taste a bit yesterday :-) He has managed it easily (apart from buying whole almonds which we had to skin and grind!!) If he can make this cake, anyone can! "

    "Easy to make, I added some plain chocolate to the pan with the fruit etc. I doubled the quantities and put it in a square tin (the kind with loose sides and middle partitions) and made 3 square cakes - they look fantastic, smell fantastic and from the little nibble I had, taste fantastic! This will be my favoured Christmas Cake from now on ..."

    "My first attempt at chutney making and all went well. I chopped everything in a food processor on pulse setting. I simmered it for 40 minutes and then took the lid off the pan for the next 20. It then took 35 minutes to get to the required consistency. Given the comments I reduced the cayenne pepper to 1 tsp and still find it hot enough!! I also added 2 tbs tomato puree to intensify the colour. Can't wait to try it in a month! "
