This recipe was a disaster. The yams were undercooked, and the sauce was too runny. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The yams were cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it turned out much better.

This yam bake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. The yams were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I might try making it with less sugar next time.
