Like the site design, its very clean.
used this recipe as a basis for a spiced banana/pecan bread (no figs, sub in cream cheese for milk, omitted sugar and egg - used 6 bananas, pureed).

This recipe was spectacular! It was quick to prepare and turned out just as described moist, light and fragrant. I used a little less sugar and a little more banana.
