Wilton Icing Color 1 oz.

I have used this coloring several times and always end up with a weird purple fondant instead. I even have a hard time making gray. You could use the method of mixing the dye to the melted marshmellows or using dark modeling chocolate with it to give it a base (Google: How to make Black Fondant) but from what...

Banyuls Wine Vinegar - Imported From France, 16.9-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3)

I've been trying to find a source for this since having it in a chicken sauce at TRU restaurant in Chicago. None of my local stores seem to even know what it is. For those of you wondering, the nearest thing I can use as a comparison is the French answer to balsam...

Art of Appreciation Gift Baskets Happy Times Gourmet Food Basket

The presentation of this gift basket is good, very nicely warped and looks good in quality, BUT! it's way too small from what I expected as a Thanksgiving basket. Don't get me wrong, I ordered one last year and it was a lot cheaper than this and a lot bigger too..well, i understand we're all struggling under...

Taste of Crete Evangelia's Greek Cookies with Olive Oil and Wine, 5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)

I like Taste of Crete cookies. There are three kinds: orange, grape, and regular. All three are made with olive oil, so I suppose they are more healthful than most cookies. They do not taste like olives any more than ordinary cookies taste like corn or soybeans. Olive oil is simply the fat they were made with...

Mountain Gorgonzola - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet

We had tried several dishes of Italian gourmet when we were in Italy that contained Gorgonzola. Obviously, it must have been the "dolce" (sweet) variety. This is a very strong and sharp taste. I did not mind it at all in some recipes but the wife could not tolerate the overpowering taste. If you like authentic...

Ariel Chardonnay Non-alcoholic Wine 750ML

This alcohol free wine is a great alternative for those who cannot, or choose not, to drink alcohol. Highly recommended, wish there were more companies producing alcohol free wines.I've been drinking NA beer and wine for 2 years and it's been a hard adjustment. but after about a year my taste buds and nose adjusted...

Merguez Sausage, Four packages of 6 links. 12 oz each

One of my most frequent purchases from Amazon is this delectable sausage. It's made with lamb and Moroccan spices. It has some heat in it. We use it when we make spinach pizza, but there are other recipes in which it can be used, particularly in a Julia Child recipe for braised lamb shank, found in Mastering...

Classic Pasta Gift Basket

I received this basket as a gift. I enjoyed every bit of it; the taste of the pasta is exquisite and the sauce is delicious. And that comes from an Italian. I have since sent this gift basket to friends and relatives.I sent this to friends in California and they loved it for their housewarming. Who doesn't...

RiceSelect Jasmati Rice, 32-Ounce Jars (Pack of 4)

Once upon a time, I used cheap rice for dishes. Over time, I have discovered that there are preferable products. This Jasmati long grain American jasmine rice exemplifies. It is one of a series of rices produced by Rice Select.It has a nice texture and a nice taste once you prepare it. When I make my recipe...

Carambar Caramel Traditional French Candy

I requested these french caramels for my birthday. European treats are appealing to me and I wanted something chewy. These candies did not disappoint. Sweet, chewy, rich with milk and a flavor of cocoa, a delightful combination for your taste buds. A 10 piece bag could easily be eaten in one sitting but I like...

Partners All Natural Crackers, Olive Oil and Herb, 4-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

I first found these crackers in a store in Maine and picked them up to go with a variety of cheeses that I was buying for an informal cocktail get-together. When I got home to Virginia I could not find them at any of my local stores so began searching for them online. I found them here and bought some immediately....

Boyajian Mini Vinegar Variety Set, 4 Flavors (Pack of 3)

Cute sets but I didn't get the four versions of vinegar that is shown on Amazon.com. A little dissappointing. Got the ole switch-er-roo I guess.I love vinegar, and this was good for trying a few flavors. I did not give it as gifts, I think that would be weird.Buy Boyajian Mini Vinegar Variety Set, 4 Flavors...

Seasoned Rice Vinegar

I have had this product in the past and the bottle of vinegar tasted nothing like what I normally use.It was bland, not tangy, seemingly watered down.I won't buy it againAt home, I enjoy making my own sushi, as in this town, it's pretty pricey. This is a mild rice vinegar, and I highly doubt that anyone planning...

Food & Wine Magazine Spicy Red Jalapeno Mustard, 10-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6)

I love mustard & have tried so many different types/brands and this is without a doubt my favorite mustard. However, it is very spicy, so be fore-warned if you don't like spicy foods. The taste of this mustard is so delicious that I put it on chicken & seafood before grilling or broiling. I love this...

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Washed Grade 2 Coffee Beans

coffee was a gift for a gift exchange on the internet, but i have not heard any complaints, so i assume, like most coffees, it is tasty :)The beans were good. I was expecting sub par beans since they were Grade 2 and I didn't know what Grade 2 was other than it obviously wasn't Grade 1 :) But they were excellent....

Bar Harbor All Natural Herring with Cabarnet Wine Sauce, 6.7-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

Excellent herring, very soft and flaky, not like other canned fish, nice sauce, not at all over powering.When I was growing up, medium-sized bottles of herring in sour cream were a staple.

These Wild Hibiscus Flowers make an impressive statement in cocktails, especially champagne. In addition, the flowers are edible and yummy!!!! You can even float them in sparkling apple cider or bubbling water for those non-alcoholic drinkers, as well as the kids. Great way to spark conversation among your...

Partners Flatbread Style Crackers, Walla Walla Sweet Onion, 5.8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

I think the product tastes fantastic but in 12 boxes I ordered I would say 90% were broken. They were specifically bought for an appetizer and I can't use any of them. I am not very happy. I really like "Partners" products but am unable to get them locally so this was the next best thing....NOT!!!!These big...

12 Ounces of Guyaux Chocolatier Truffles in Gift Box

I have purchased Guyaux Truffles at least 10 times over the past few years (always as gifts, unfortunately). Unless you are someone who can *only* eat really dark chocolate (which I also truly love) this is the most amazing chocolate you can possibly buy. Every person I have seen eat them literally closes their...

Trader Joe's Gourmet Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar

I bought this product having no idea what it was or how it tasted. I was searching for something with a hint of orange to make homemade salad dressings this was part of the search. I have no regret buying it, except for the fact I can't get enough! I blended it with some mandarin oranges, olive oil, cilantro,...
