Elvan Maestro Hazelnut Chocolate Bar
Elvan chocolate is new to my taste buds. It is a compound chocolate with Hazelnut Cream. It is an Arabian chocolate and I have nothing against the manufacturer but I can really say that Hershey’s are far better based on my previous review.
To start with, Elvan chocolate is composed …

Hershey’s Cocoa 100% unsweetened cacao powder

This whole box of cacao …

Breyers Peanut Butter Tracks Overload!

Hostess Mini Muffins Banana Walnut
I do not care for these Hostess Mini Muffins Banana Walnut variety because the flavor that is supposed to be present just is not. At least, it is not represented too well in the actual mini muffin. Neither the banana nor the walnut flavor can be detected with relative …
MDH Chicken Curry Masala - Spice Blend for Chicken Curry
Just the mention of Curry gets my mouth watering. The aromatic blend of spices and ingredients bursting with flavor cooked to perfection and served with Rice or Indian flat bread, there is nothing comparable.
The key to making a delicious Chicken Curry lies not only in the preparation method but …

I admit that this product is one of my secret weapons in my recipe arsenal.

I buy both the liquid and the powdered versions …

Haagen Dazs Dark Orange Chocolate ice cream
I have been seeing this huge poster advertising Haagen Dazs’ new flavor, Dark Chocolate orange for quite a while already. The advertisement was effective as every time I looked at it, I felt tempted to buy it. It was a seductive picture of a man with his face …
Heinz Alphabetti Pasta Shapes in Tomato Sauce
This is what is colloquially known by just about everybody, certainly by me, as “Alphabetti Spaghetti” on account of the nice sound that makes. However, since it is not strictly speaking spaghetti (by virtue of being the wrong shape!) Heinz are forced to use this rather duller title on …
DiGiorno Microwave Pizza
I picked up a DiGiorno Microwave pizza from my local market when I realized I’d left my lunch at home. I wanted something that I could pop into our company’s microwave with little fuss. And I knew that I didn’t want some watery frozen entree. …

Wonder Natural Foods Better’n Peanut Butter

Kellogg’s Live Bright Dark Chocolate Vanilla Bars
These bars are not nearly as nutritious as the box or the advertising claims them to be. There is a significant amount of high fructose corn syrup, sugar and the dangerous trans fat. In terms of calories, there are 150 per bar, which is not incredibly bad, but considering …

Yogurtland (Berkeley, CA)
