    "This has worked perfectly each and every time I've tried it. In fact my mum's a bit miffed because she's been trying to find a good recipe for years and I did it first time out! Fantastic with soups and stews. I often mix the dry ingredients together the night before and then in the morning I can mix in the buttermilk and have some fresh bread to take to work with me! Not sure why people are having problems though, I've used the exact measurements provided and it's always the right consistency. Maybe some people are using large porridge oats which don't absorb the liquid as quickly?"

    "Great recipe, worked perfectly first time. The only differences for me were that the eggs and sugar didn't whip up as well as they should according to the recipe so I added half a teaspoon of baking powder. I also just used a bag of chocolate chips rather than breaking up a whole bar. Delicious though, made them at night and they were even better in the morning when they had firmed up properly."

    "Made this for the first time last week and despite needing longer in the over than stated (though that's very common for me) it turned out brilliantly. The only bugger for me is that I'm obviously not as skilled with a spatula at smoothing out the ganache as mine didn't look as silky as the one in the picture! It was like chomping through an enormous brownie covered in chocolate! Everyone who had some thought it was delicious, in fact I'm making it next week for the Macmillan Coffee Morning thing at work. It's so rich that there should be plenty to go around!"

    "Really delicious and simple to make. I didn't use the fish sauce or the peanuts in mine though. I did however add chopped coriander as well as use honey in the dressing instead of palm sugar. Also, you only need one bundle of noodles for a decent sized lunch, and I'm 6' 2"! It's really nice as a side dish along a piece of griddled tuna."
