Pear, hazelnut & chocolate cake
29 comments
"Absolutely delicious cake, which is so delicious warm. It's worth putting the apricot jam on the top and slicing and layering the pear slices attractively to give it a lovely french tart look. It doesn't rise as much as you expect it to, and the cooking times are way off. But once it's done, it's perfect, delicious and a wonderful combination of subtle flavours and textures."

Chorizo & artichoke risotto
6 comments
"This was pretty simple dish, and an interesting combination of flavours, however I thought it was a bit on the bland side and could have done with a more bold flavour? Perhaps I should have used more chorizo..."

Creamy masala chicken

"I thought this was very bland, with only chilli, ginger and tumeric to flavour it... perhaps I missed something?"

American pecan pies
8 comments
"Recipe was pretty easy to make but results weren't fantastic - though not bad either. The recipe makes too much pastry to the amount of filling (and I didn't even use it all) and the taste of the pastry overwhelms the filling somewhat. The filling also could do with being richer, perhaps more treacley. If I made it again I might use dark muscavado as opposed to light."

Choc & nut caramel slice
14 comments
"I made this despite the bad reviews hoping that taking heed of peoples suggestions here would mean a better result. No such luck. Agreed that the chocolate and the shortbread worked fine and are tasty, the caramel however doesn't really qualify as caramel. More sticky sugar paste. I tried cooking longer as suggested but to no avail. Not awful, but a can of dulce de leche would have worked much better."
