"I agree - they did need a little milk to bind them. The last time I made this recipe, I added some cheese to the mix and finely chopped spring onion instead of apple and they were lovely!"

"I'm sure it would be fine in a 24x24 tin. I have made this recipe in several different sized tins, including 2 separate loaf tins, as muffins in a muffin tray and as small cupcakes in paper cases, and it always turns out great."

"This is a fantastic cake. I followed the recipe exactly, but I baked it in two loaf tins because I cut it up to make into a steam train cake for my son's birthday (an engine + 3 carriages) and iced it with my own icing (not the recipe above.) The cake was easy to make and delicious. I left it a day before icing (sealed in a container) and it was firm yet lovely and moist. Four days later, we are finishing off the last scraps and they are still moist and delicious. This is our new favourite chocolate cake recipe ... and the use of wholemeal flour is a good way to delude myself that it is healthy!"

"Easy and tasty. Popular with my family (my children are 4 and 2). I used vege stock instead of wine and omitted the celery (not a family favourite!) Next time I'll halve the amount of lemon zest and juice - it overpowered the flavour slightly. Otherwise, the balance of the rosemary and olives with the lamb was just right. Mine turned out a lot more tomatoey looking than the photo! I served it with sliced toasted pitta bread for dipping in the juices."

"This has become my daughter's favourite meal (with the neeps and tatties!) She asks for it whenever we have a something to celebrate. Delicious flavour and so easy. I use beef stock in place of the port and it still comes out lovely and rich."
