Very disappointing and runny ghee.

Ive been using organics ghee for years so maybe Im spoiled but this is very sad ghee.  Its runny, flavorless and has added milk as an ingredient.  Very disappointing.

Tried this based on the high number of 5 star reviews and friends' recommendations.

However, our 1 year old  goldie became very lethargic after eating it. Energy level also dipped! AND when we heated the fowl version up, the entire kitchen started smelling like dead bird.

Curious, I checked The contents only to find most of it was meal (if you do some research, you'll find that MEAL is the next worst thing after gluten and food. Won't be repurchasing.

Going back to acana/solid gold, etc.

I LOVE grilled food and am gluten-intolerant, so I jumped on this book right away when I saw it. Oh boy, was I ever disappointed!!

I have two big problems with this book. The first one is a health issue: Some of these recipes are only gluten-free if you have gluten-free versions of the ingredients!!! For example, various brands of soya sauce, buffalo sauce, Worcestershire sauce and tartar sauce contain gluten. The author doesn't spend any time discussing this fact nor does she talk about brands that are gluten free and therefore safe. This is a BIG DEAL considering the book is supposedly written for people who need gluten-free recipes. Someone new to a gluten-free diet or living with celiacs could get sick trusting that these recipes are safe as is.

My second big issue with this book is that it's very obvious it was slapped together with very little effort. It is riddled with ridiculous spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors in every single paragraph. I'm guessing the author dictated this and then didn't read it before publishing. Otherwise, she would have noticed her document was filled with blatant mistakes in her "word class recopies" such as; "levees" (leaves), "severe" (serve), "Brest" (breast), "sward fish" (sword fish), "backing dish" (baking dish), and recipe titles such as "ORANGY CHIKEN GRILLED DRUPSTICK RECEPIE". An editor or beta-reader would have caught the fact that the reader is instructed to "deep" their chicken legs, season with "salt and paper", and "lace the lemon".

It may sound like I'm picking on the author, but let me be clear: This isn't a book with a few errors scattered throughout. It is a book with a LOT of spelling/wrong-word errors, no punctuation, and missing information in **every paragraph**. This made the instructions hard to follow. Seriously, readers shouldn't have to decode a recipe to follow it. It was frustrating to have to constantly decipher what the author meant to say.
Here is a direct quote from the book:

"In this book I will give you all the gluten free recopies which are not only tasty or mouth watering but it also give you combination of healthy and ketogenick so what else you can ask for I have read so many book and try to find out gluten recopies but most of the time I did not get what I want In those recopies." (See the photo I included with the review.)

If that doesn't steer you away from this book, you can expect to not know the actual name of some recipes, have no clue what ingredient is called for, and/or what amount is needed. (What the heck is a "sibter"? And, where would I find "ground rock flower" to make a Grilled Saleman dish??)

As for the actual recipes and information, I can say: I like that the author includes nice photos of what each dish should look like. However, I would prefer that the pictures be at the start of the recipe instead of at the end of it. I found that confusing.

I appreciate that the author mentions using a charcoal grill for chicken, but I wish she would have mentioned it at the front of the book where she talks about grilling and not as a random comment mid-way through the book. I also think it would have been valuable for her to tell the reader WHY it is better with charcoal.

In most cases, the recipes that are decipherable call for ingredients that most people would have readily on hand or that are easy and inexpensive to get. There are a few exceptions, like sword fish which is very costly and asafetida; I don't know anyone that would have that on hand or where I would get it locally.

I tried the Chana Masala.  This was the worst recipe I've ever tried.  Over salted and absolutely bland tasting.  Coriander, cumin, and chilis.  That's pretty much it.  Some times less is more, but this time less was so much less.

I think I just wasted my money.

I really like the normal Bisquick but wanted to try something to cut the gluten out, so I tried this. It had the consistency of that old time paste or glue. The flavor was also not good either. I am not sure how people actually eat this stuff, it was horrible. Threw it in the trash.

I've had gluten free pastas many times, since my best friend suffers from Celiac disease. I've grown accustomed to the taste and texture of different brands of GF pastas to try and make it easier for her to have dinner with us, and for my health as well.

When I saw this, I thought it would be a perfect solution- mac and cheese at work when I need a yummy, warm snack.

I couldn't be more wrong. It was still crunchy, even though I added enough water, and I even let it sit longer than recommended. The cheese was horrid, and powdery and I felt a film on my teeth after a few bites. I couldn't finish it. I have a second bowl at home (I bought a two pack) that now, I have no use for. I've wasted 4 bucks (bought this at the store, not online) on something I cannot eat.  Very disappointed- would not recommend.

This sucks, because I hate writing back reviews- especially for a company that's out to do good in the world. Sadly, they just missed the mark on this one, but they have lots of other tasty items!!

A muddy mix of flavors with little texture.  This is probably the worst of all the MH breakfast items. Sure, it's hardy and nutritious, so you won't go hungry... but then again, breakfast won't be the best part of your morning. Of the added vegetables, only the onion flavor stands out. The green and red peppers are MIA... you can see them, but not taste them. If you happen to get a spoon of eggs and sausage alone, it's ok. The sausage is quite tasty and the eggs are ok. But the "hashbrowns" would be completely unidentifiable without the word on the label.

Stay away from this one and eat the incredibly tasty and hardy biscuits and gravy instead.

I ordered this because of all the rave reviews, but I have to admit I was very disappointed. Flavor is not bad, but it is somewhat thin and diluted when made as is specified, and frankly it was no better than packets you can buy in any American grocery store. Actually surprised Ghirardelli is willing to put their name on it.

I bought this because I used the last of some great garam masala that I bought at an off-brand store.
The price seemed right, but when I got this and tried it in my favorite tikka recipe, I was so disappointed.  The flavor was horrible.  I can't really explain what exactly turned me off of it, but it seems like they over-powered the main flavor with too much heat and too many cloves.
It also doesn't dissolve well in recipes and leaves a gritty feeling in sauces.
I ended up dumping all three jars in the trash and using the jars for more g.m. that I stumbled upon in town for 1/4 of the price.

I would definitely never, ever, ever buy this again.

Disgusting! I opened it up and it has a rancid smell to it. Have used ghee for years but other brands. I thought it might be just a bad jar but a friend at work had a jar from the same company with a different flavor and it still smelled bad to me. I thought I would give it a try so I stirfried some veggies in it and it ruined them. Have since ordered another brand.

I bought this from a local shop for $3 a bag. I've eaten a lot of Chinese and Japanese instant noodles, rice noodles, and udon in my life. My favorite are Nissin sesame oil noodles from Japan/Hong kong. This curry noodle is the worst I've eaten. The soup base comes in two packets: a coconut premix and curry paste. No dried vegetables. In short, the soup base tastes like salty, hot milk. There is no traditional curry flavor. I can't even taste the chili. It's just salty, spicy, hot milk with thick, flavorless noodles.

Just okay.  I've tried several of the recipes, for example Lemon Raspberry "Cheesecake" Oatmeal (bleah - marginal taste, only ate about two bites), and Petite Portion Banana Pudding Overnight Oats (you've got to be kidding me.  the color was unappetizing, the taste, what there was, was unpalatable.  again, only managed to eat two bites before dumping).  The Kheer, even though I oiled my crockpot and added about 1/4 C. extra soy milk, was stuck in the crockpot like glue.  The top of half the mixture was a dark brown, very nasty looking.  I really tried to eat a small bowlful, but it was too awful.  I had to soak my little ceramic crock for two days, plus scrub like the dickens to get the grotty stuff cleaned out, dishwashed it twice, and it still looks like it has been permanently discolored.

HUGE disappointment from an avid oatmeal lover.

Thought I would love this product, but after trying multiple types - all the results were the same. My poor dog had horrible diarrhea after eating this food every single time he would eat this. Made him sick a few times too. Don't waste your time with this product.

What a disappointment:( small, really thin and the taste is just weird. I was really looking forward to this but it's nothing like a traditional English muffin. I've eaten loads of GF breads, have been gf for years. Won't be wasting my money on these again!

Not very good at all. Added salt and pepper and was not even able to finish it. My money would be better spent on ramen noodles and canned meat. I eat mountain house all the time and Augason farms as well as emergency essentials. All are so far ahead of this brand it was all the more disappointing. I will not buy this brand again. The red beans and rice were OK and the Jamaican jerk chicken was OK but not much meet.

I tried two different recipes from this book. Both were utterly inedible and had to be thrown out. I thought it was my fault after the first recipe I tried, but when the second one was equally as horrid, I knew it was the cookbook. This book was a gift, so I had never read the reviews. I came on here to write this review since I was so disappointed and wanted to warn others. Then I read some of the other reviews and found they had the same opinion! Dry, dense, almost bread-like "cupcakes," with flavorless, liquidy glaze on top. Yuck. Even though I received this as a gift from a friend, I feel like I paid too much money for it -- the publisher should be paying me for pain and suffering resulting from attempting the horrible recipes! Run away, quickly, and don't look back at Cupcakes Galore. You'll be glad you did.
