"If you like crystallized ginger enough to eat it straight out of the bag, then these cookies are for you. The ginger taste is so strong and over-powering, there is no flavor at all except ginger. I followed the recipe to the letter, unlike many of the five-star reviewers."

"I followed the recipe to the letter and found the end result to be bland and lacking in flavor. The sauce was like unseasoned tomato soup and the meat was tough. I reheated the leftovers by slicing up the meat, sprinkling salt and pepper on each slice, then covering the meat with a layer of sauce and vegetables. It was somewhat better reheated,"

"Bland, boring, underseasoned. If you had to add something like horseradish to make it taste good, don't give the recipe 5 stars.""

"Yuck. So, so bad. It isn't really fair that people changed the recipe, added other ingredients, or used different cooking methods, then gave 5 stars. If you make it the way she did on TV, it is very bad. I ended up throwing it away, when I could have used the ingredients in a salad that might have been OK."

"Ew, yuck! All that fake crap is unhealthy!"

"Is this show like the low-calorie version of Sandra Lee? All those chemicals are bad for you! "

"Looks disgusting, since I don't eat artificial sweetners."
