The ultimate makeover: Carrot cake
90 comments
"This is the best cake recipe ever. For once, I was organised and soaked the raisins (actually, they were sultanas - so I wasn't 100% organised) overnight. All the liquid had gone, so I added the quantity all over again when I began to make the cake. It was fantastic!!!! And the frosting is the best I've ever tasted. If I could give it 10 stars, I would."

The ultimate makeover: Carrot cake
90 comments
"Although this was a bit fiddly, I was really glad I'd made it. It's delicious, light and moist, and the icing is just lovely. Make sure you have all the ingredients prepared in advance and lined up, waiting to be added to the mixture. I didn't change a thing in the recipe, and it worked so well. Perhaps I'll add a few chopped walnuts next time. But it's great as it is."

Ultimate meringue
64 comments
"This is the easiest recipe which results in the best meringues ever. I'd used 4 egg yolks for Jamie's spaghetti carbonara, and I'm glad I found this recipe for using up the 4 egg whites. I didn't change a thing, and for the first time in my life, they worked perfectly. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. "

"Thanks to the comments from the readers, I added an egg to bind the mixture, as well as twice the curry powder, and a small dried chilli. It worked really well, was good and spicy but not overpowering. We had them without the burger buns, so I also added the cumin to the mixture. I added the beaten egg with the breadcrumbs, mixed well into the chickpea mixture, and left it for about 20 mins. before shaping them into burgers. The result was great, and was greatly appreciated by my son and my husband, who loved them. I've made them again since, with as much success and appreciation."

"This was a lovely starter, which I made for French friends who were visiting. They loved it, and passed it as 'authentically French'."
