Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute golden syrup for maple syrup.

    What a great idea! These hit the spot.

    I used salted peanuts instead of walnuts, reducing the salt added to just a pinch. and added about a teaspoon of instant coffee granules because I didn't have enough cocoa powder. Really good, really quick. A very good use for one of the foil cartons from the last time we got food delivered!

    I only realised afterwards that I used cacao powder instead of cocoa powder, so these came out reeeeally richly chocolatey (and much darker than in the picture in the book) but they were still good. The bitterness of the chocolate was helped by the fact that instead of 50g walnuts and 50g chocolate chips, I used 100g white chocolate chips. I didn't have a disposable aluminium tray so used a pyrex dish, which seemed to turn out fine. All in all: great to have a brownie recipe for two people and I'd make again.

    Realty enjoyed these. Super quick to make and the perfect brownie to serve In a sundae with ice cream. I left out walnuts so threw in a handful of mini marshmallows instead which added to the chew and used a mix of dark and white chocolate chips.

    I used disposable aluminum pans...the ones I usually use to catch drippings from my bbq - a great fit. These were quick, easy and delish...I like mine gooey, so always tough to watch they don't overbake and get cakey. On her show, I love how Nigella takes a giant bite out of these. I did too.

    I wish I'd had some of the disposable pans in the size she says to use for this. Since I didn't I used a ramekin, but it would have worked better in the pans suggested. Despite that it was still delicious. Perfect size for 2 large or 4 small brownies.
