    Wonderful Mussells broth. I added some saffron threads which provided a nice taste though they are terribly expensive. The broth made a nice dipping sauce for crusty bread.

    I've never made mussels before, but the recipe is very simple and delicious. Will definitely make this again.

    This recipe is great for special occasions but I wonder if I could "lighten" this up for every day and have it still be just as good??? Any suggestions?

    I made this for Christmas Eve dinner and resulted in a delicious entree. I doubled the recipe and followed the instructions exactly. My guests enjoyed it and I will definitely make this again. The bulk of the labor is in the mussel-cleaning and the mincing of so many shallots and garlic. Otherwise, perfection!

    Absolutely delicious! A lot of the time, I tend to revise recipes I find, but this one I followed exactly and they came out great. Very yummy and probably the only recipe I will ever use for mussels.

    Very nice! My husband and I both really liked this dish and we'll definitely make it again. A nice change from the usual mussel recipes. I made thin spaghetti to go with it; yes the sauce is thin but oh so delicious.

    In my family, we have always just steamed mussels over salted water. This was MUCH better! I can't stop licking my fingers! My 12 year old daughter loved them very very much as well. Will make this over and over.

    This recipe is exactly what I wanted, the traditional way to make mussels that takes me over the moon with happiness. I tried making them on top of pasta but did not find the broth thick enough for the noodles. I like making it the way the recipe originally intended and tearing up homemade bread and soaking up the sauce instead. Fabulous! ~ Suzie the Foodie

    This recipe was so easy to make and the mussels tasted just like ones I have had at various restaurants. Was also hesitant about the cream sauce but it was delicious. My son is a very picky eater and he loved them. My only regret is that I didn't make more of them. Will definitely make these again!
