I only needed to bake for 45mins. Thankfully my sense of smell led me to check it earlier or else it would've burnt & been no good. Toothpick came out clean, turned out wonderful & delicious! I used fresh strong brewed coffee instead of the boiled water. I would definitely make again.

This was a good recipe. I've been looking for a recipe that might duplicate my grandmother's date nut bread. While hers was a darker bread, this was very moist and delicious. I got many compliments...and only one tablespoon of butter!

This is a great recipe - wonderful taste and wonderful texture! I made it to serve to our playgroup when both parents and tots came over this fall for an afternoon of apple picking, and I just realized I forgot to review it! I was looking for a quick-bread that would be a little different than the run of the mill zucchini or pumpkin or banana - and this got rave reviews from everyone! (I did omit the walnuts because I wasn't sure about the tots being able to chew them well and because of allergy concerns). I just used a standard loaf pan, but have kept an eye out for the longer-style pan in second hand shops that Joan wrote about in the recipe's intro. I'm so glad to have a new way of including dates in our snack-times. Thanks very much!

This was not a hit for our family. We didn't not like it, but we didn't like it either. No one went out of their way to eat it, so I won't go out of my way to make it again. Sorry.

I used to make a date and walnut bread as a child from a recipe handed down from my grand mother. Unfortunately, I lost the recipe. When I saw this, I though I would give it a try as it looked very similar. I'm afraid I didn't enjoy it very much. Too dark for my liking and not very sweet at all. I'm not saying that it's not a good recipe but it definately wasn't what I was looking for!

Excellent recipe! Didn't have walnuts, so I substituted pecans. Great with butter or crean cheese. Didn't last long. Plan to make it again for our Memorial Day get together.

Tastes just like my Nana's bread. She used to use coffee cans to bake with, which worked really well, giving the bread a nice all-around crust. I haven't tried using them yet, but you can bet I will!
