"I love this soup - definately recommend to everyone. Really well flavoured - but then again I did change the recipe slightly - I used beef stock (didn't have chicken or veg), used agarve syrup instead of honey, added a little mustard and mixed dried herbs, and also in place of the 'pinch' added about 1 1/2 tbsp of chili flakes! Sounds hot but that's how I like it lol. The recipe makes tons and its hard to believe its only 166kcal per 1/6! "

"Hey Barney thanks for the help but I forgot to check this page again before I went ahead and made it! I used pineapple pulp in the end (because mangoes just seemed too expensive lol) and it came out absolutely amazing. Would recommend to everyone! It's lovely and sweet and tangy, and the custard is a little meringue-like. I've even been asked to make it again and gladly will. For someone who struggles with custard tarts (numerous disastrous attempts) this is just so easy! :)"

"I was just wondering if I could use another fruit other than passion fruit? Like mangoes or pineapple?"

"This is the best chocolate cake I've ever made (and I've made 20+ in my lifetime!), beats the 'ultimate chocolate cake' by Angela Nielsen hands down. I did add about 50g more sugar and about 3 tbsp of cocoa to really get the chocolately flavour, and instead of using the frosting in the recipe used a glossy frosting recipe by Hershey's I found on the internet. I made it for a 'fake' birthday and neither I or my friends could believe how absolutely moist and chocolately the cake was - it truly is the ultimate! "

"Lovely cake but you need to keep it for a day or two before eating - the flavours really come out and the cake becomes that much more moister. Made it last year for my birthday and it looked impressive with the glossy frosting I made for it. I also piped some cream bulbs around the bottom to make it a little more elegant. Served with whipped cream its absolutely delish! Probably will make again in near future."
