"Brownies were delicious. I added walnuts and chocolate bits. I found the recipe confusing and not 100% accurate. Cooking time for me was 50mins, not 25 mins. Chocolate mixture takes a lot longer to cool than the 20mins the oven needs to heat up. Also, the recipe was a bit too specific when it didn't need to be - telling you how to cut chocolate and using the spatula to get as much of the mixture out of the bowl - isn't that obvious!! Good brownies, but don't think I'll use this recipe again as too confusing. There are much simpler recipes out there that produce brownies just as good."

" Excellent dish - very simple and very tasty. I used white wine to cook the pancetta in and it worked a treat."

"Also - try the same recipe with lamb shanks and cook for about 3 hours. Lovely"

"Went to the Hope and Anchor a few nights ago - its now the 7 hour slow cooked lamb shoulder. It was a little tougher than I expected but with organic/good quality lamb you get that sometimes (because it actually has used its muscles!)"
