every thing sounds tasty but...

Gordon is obviously not on a budget or a diet, and most of the ingredients are not going to be readily available to anyone who doesn't live in a major metropolitan area. The things I've made have been delicious, such as the tiramisu, but I've yet to find porgy anywhere. Some hints for substitutions would be nice.

I love cinnamon, I love cinnamon gum and red hots, etc.  Unfortunately I cannot drink a whole cup of liquid that tastes like this.  It's a bummer tho.  If I could find a way to dilute the flavor perhaps or mix it with another flavor I might be able to utilize the box I just bought.  :(

I love the idea of everything being all natural and that even the bag is compost-able. I bought the 6 pack and I've had 2 bags so far. I just don't care for the flavor of it and I don't think it tastes like butter and sea salt.

The taste is "okay", I'll probably finish them off, but the aftertaste is off-putting ... makes me want to scrape my tongue.

I read many recipes but haven't had a chance to make any yet. Will try some later. They sound great.

It's pretty delicious, though every time I've gotten it it's come all smooshed up into one lump, which I've then got to break off.  I eat it from the bag as a snack so it doesn't bother me, but if you're looking for clearly defined clusters to put in something, this may not be it.

I haven't seen my specific complaint mentioned, so maybe it's just me. I have a good mix, so no problems there. Decently salted, good crunch, not stale. Yet, when I close my eyes, I cannot tell one nut from another. All have one generic taste, x/c perhaps the peanuts, just slightly. Maybe the nuts have been in the same mix for so long, all the oils and flavors just co-mingled??? Not sure.......

Good. Sweet potato wedges was my favorite.  Some recipes need to be adjusted. For instance, the cake recipes needed to be cooked longer otherwise they were dough-like. The lentil bolognese was way too much even after cutting ingredients in half.

I am what you might call a "food junkie" in that I like to try anything new, repackaged or odd. In this case, this new set of Hamurger Helper flavors was sitting at the local grocery store, and I decided it warranted investigation (I must've been bored that day). I mean, how do you screw up Hamburger Helper??!

The answer, it would seem, is to throw in too many flavors and subdue the nacho cheese in favor or a bunch of freeze dried vegetable supplicants. While it might taste okay if you season it right, on its own it is pretty dire stuff. I've heard the other flavors are better, but I don't eat this kind of thing very often, so I guess I'll give these a pass. I will say they do have a little heat on them if that sounds enticing. In that case, feeding this to children might be rather amusing...

I live in the islands and a lot of the ingredients are not available here however, there were some really good recipes that were really good. if you claim that one would not  miss the taste of meat I think it should be done with products that don't try to mimic the flavour of meat artificially .

The Ginger is good.  The Cherry tastes like a Ludens cough drop.  The Cucumber is just odd.

I had a hard time deciding how many stars to give this product because I'm basing it off of 2 different opinions.. I could make my husband write his own review but he wouldn't do it so here we go....
Me: They smell great, ingredients and flavors sound great, they look ok, they are healthy and great for on the go. AND they are gross lol. I really wanted to like them and tried a bite of most of the flavors, but I just couldn't stomach the texture!! I was expecting the bars to have a jerky type texture. That was NOT what I got. They are more dry and they almost disintegrate in your mouth... I can eat the bites, but I don't really enjoy them.. I'm not usually picky but for some reason these got to me...
My husband: LOVED THEM. He wants me to order more for him to leave at work and some to leave in his car... He loves the flavor, the texture and the convenience. He says it's kind of like eating healthy jerky..

So if I could split the rating it would be 1 star for me but he would give it 5 stars... great company though!! I use their duck fat too cook all the time =)

...because not all flavors are the same. This review is for the Alder Smoked Wild Salmon Chowder.

I agree with the other customers who complained about the price. This is only ONE serving, people, and it's not that filling. I paid $4.99 on sale at my local supermarket. NO soup is worth 10 bucks for a small mug-full.

It is tasty, though. Once heated it is surprisingly thin. The chunks of potato and salmon, and red bell pepper skins, are the most prevalent impression. I love thyme so this is probably why I like this soup, as to me that, and smoke, seem to be the primary flavors.

As another reviewer mentioned, adding corn to it would be okay; some salted mixed rice (or rice cooked in broth) would make it into a more stew-like consistency. But adding anything to it will dilute the flavor, as it is a rather mild-tasting soup.

Even if you do add other ingredients to it, don't plan on getting more than one serving out of this, though, unless you're eating other things with it, such as crackers, bread, or salad.

Considering this is a microwave instant type of food I wasn't expecting much from it. There is a good flavor overall, but the spices and noodles are overshadowed by way too much sugar - peanut sauce should be slightly sweet, but toward the end of the package it seemed like all you had left on the taste buds was "SWEET". Think I'll try another flavor next time.

This household witnesses a lot of baking, from bread and cake to a variety of other sweet treats. Though I am not quite set on a star rating for this little packet, I do have to agree with other reviewers claiming that the vanilla is simply not fragrant and cannot be tasted. I deal with a lot of vanilla bean and its undeniable flavor. However, after several baked treats, the taste of vanilla here is nowhere to be found. Perhaps I received an old pack? Not quite sure. I still want to love this item. This review will be updated if things change but so far, three stars for the idea of ground vanilla.

Taste great but I can't manage to get them to "cook" properly so that they are all or nearly all expanded.  After cooking they sit there making little popping noises. When I eat them I am happy with the taste but jnside my mouth they stick to the  everything they touch as if they are seeking moisture and so take mine, which I find uncomfortable to painful to remove from whatever they have stuck themselves to.  I do have a dry mouth issue but taking a sip of water before each piece I eat is impractical and not all that helpful.  I guess I will have to go back to the grocery store brand, which don't taste as good.

This book had a good variety of recipes that all sounded rather tasty, but in actuality were not that great. Everything kind of comes upblah, like its missing simething and you can't put your finger on it but you know its missing. granted there are compromises to be made with any diet, however I am a relatively healthy eater so I am willing to compromise, yet I still felt most the recipes were bland or required a bit more time and energy than most of us have in a regular day. I also cook very well and often, however I could see my self getting very bored with these meals or too exhausted to make them everyday.in order to follow the diet I think that you probabaly need this book, but on the other hand, there are tons of sites online with better recipes. though they all seem kind of bah due to the restrictive nature of the diet.
