"This is a great basic recipe that lends itself well to variations. It's very easy and quick to put together. I just bung it all in the food processor and add the nuts at the end. I haven't bothered with the lemon glaze yet, I didn't think it needed it. I use half the amount of sugar and add 50g of chopped dates and 1 tsp of cinnamon. It rises beautifully but needed 20 mins extra in my oven. I covered it with foil at the end to stop it getting too brown. I will definitely make this again and will experiment with different fruit/nut combinations. I think cranberries would be good to add a bit of sharpness. "

"lovely and very easy, I'm going to try it with a few added walnuts next time just to add a bit more bite"

"lovely - very easy and really moist. I made it at the end of November and fed it a couple of times a week, it was still delicious after Christmas. I will definitely make this again "

"another 5 star rating for this one - wonderful texture and very easy to make. It needed longer in my oven though but was easy to test with a skewer so not a problem!"

"great flavours but too much chili for most people I would think! Also the red pepper is missing from the instructions so I almost forgot to put it in. It is quite runny - I served it with ciabatta rather than pitta so better for mopping up the juices."
