    We're in the middle of an ice storm up here in the Panhandle. So, what sounds better than a big pot of chili on the stove? Nothing...that's what. I made it last night, but cut the recipe in half...with adjustments as someone else indicated. I loved the spices, but it just wasn't spicy enough for us. So,couldn't resist the temptation to add salt, chili powder and red pepper flakes. And, please don't tell my fellow Texans about the beans, which is a major no-no in these parts. Personally, I love beans in my chili! Anyway, the flavor dimensions (cocoa, cardamom, coriander, etc. produce an excellent and delicious chili, unlike any I've made before. I baked the cornbread separately. The cornbread recipe really does complement the flavors in the chili. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, y'all!

    this recipe has a lot of great flavors.
    the sweetness of the chili was a treat
    I was on a last minute schedule so I used a boxed corn bread mix which turned out to work just as well.
    Thank you Nigella.

    This chili made it worth the effort to prepare it. It was wonderful.

    I halved the recipe since I have a small family. Husband LOVED it and loves that I make creative dishes for dinner-really liked cornbread topping. loved all the spices and cocoa added that special something. Thanks for coming to the Food Network Nigella, we have been waiting for you. Your fans love your style of cooking!

    I made this for a large gathering. Everyone loved this chili, thought it was perfect. I can only do mild salsa, so the chili was a bit too much for me. No one really cared for the cornbread being on top of the chile. While I totally understood the flavor combinations, with the cocoa in the chili and the cinnamon in the cornbread (the smell was heavenly, the cinnamon-flavored cornbread, as on guest said, would be great served warm with a little butter and a cup of coffee.

    This chili was quite tasty and different from the chilis our household typically makes. The spices in it really created a warmth not found in most chilis that defer to their spiciness for the warmth, whereas this was a very rich warmth like curling up with your favorite blanket on the couch. Add the flavours of the cornbread on top and it makes for an absolutely divine relaxed dinner experience. Also very easy to make and can be made in advance for having more time to spend with dinner guests. Best for a very casual get-together though.

    I made this yesterday, attempting to halve it myself, and while it turned out pretty well, I was guessing at some of the quantities (somehow it feels like just cutting each ingredient quantity in half wouldn't work perfectly - like there are some spices or liquids that might need to be brought up or down. The result was a tasty chili with not enough heat (so, next time, more chili flakes!. I also ended up using a cornbread mix for the topping to save time, and it worked just fine. Even cutting this recipe in half, however, makes such a giant pot that my husband & I will be eating off it for a week! I now wish I'd invited people over!
