There are a lot of crab cake recipes out there, that I don’t deny, but there’s a reason for this: people really love eating them. So why resist? Why hold back? These are simple to make, and I like them at any temperature – though as with most everything else here, they sit well under a loose covering of foil in a low oven – which is even better.
Note: I always buy organic brown rice flour at the health-food shop, but if you can’t find that, then use ordinary rice four. Similarly, if you can’t locate wasabi, use English mustard.

I found this recipe bland and very oily. I even used less oil than suggested. Next time I wouldn't process the mixture to a rough paste. The cakes could have easily been mistaken for potato instead of crab. I love Nigella's recipes and they are usually true to form but this one let me down. I'm wondering if it's been misprinted on the internet?
Nigella, that was incredible. I know you refer to your grandmother a lot. She really passed a wonderful gift onto you. Bless your soul. Thanks so much for sharing. I look forward to browsing through more of your treats.
On the Australia Day weekend I had to make a double batch, they went so fast it wasnt' funny, and no my family and friends are not PIGS, they just enjoy good food. Thanks Nigella!
Even I like them. Like them very much.
