I've tried this recipe a few times now and I'm always happy with the results. The mussels are always cooked perfectly and the sauce is delicious. I like to serve it with crusty bread to soak up all the sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and the mussels turned out great. The sauce was a little bland for my taste, so I added a little bit of salt and pepper. Overall, it was a good recipe.
