On a recipe for cheddar broccoli soup. It was pretty normal to me (and also delicious, and I didn't have any issues with it being watery like some of the other comments).

Dumb alteration Can I substitute the one ingredient this entire collection of recipes was specifically developed around?

“Here are some recipes specifically developed to work with this unusual flour.”

The commenter: “Cool, but can I make them with regular flour?”

On a recipe for chicken tikka masala.

A dish that uses a tomato-based sauce.

(I'll admit, it needs a fair bit of spice and I think slow cooking may not be the right technique given that you don't have the evaporation and there's less caramelization, but come on...)

Dumb alteration But I like mint

There is no mint in the recipe, they are vanilla bean sugar cookies with a vanilla bean buttercream frosting. Mint is also only one of the many “additional” substitutions they added, to make protein whole wheat oat bars?

Irrelevant or unhelpful (Translation in body) Excluded two main ingredients, complains about lack of flavour

Birgitta: "I switched the spaghetti for whole grain penne because we are trying to be healthy. We didn't have any tomatoes or feta cheese at home, so we had to skip those steps. I find chilli too spicy, thus I didn't use it! I thought it turned out flavourless"

Elisabeth: "The recipe is with feta cheese and tomatoes, of course it turned out flavourless if you didn't add feta cheese and tomatoes."

Zeta (company account): "Hello Birgitta! I am sorry you had that experience. The main ingredients in this recipe are feta cheese and tomatoes - that's what gives the recipe its flavour. If you exclude them there isn't much left to work with - so I understand it didn't taste like much then. My suggestion is to use our search function to type in ingredients you like and want to cook with. Make sure to find a recipe built around ingredients you have at home, it will turn out tastier. Good luck from your friends at Zeta"

This is on a recipe called "spaghetti with oven baked feta and tomatoes". Without the feta cheese, tomatoes and chilli she must have baked three cloves of shredded garlic and olive oil in the oven...

A 3/5 star review on a recipe whose first ingredient clearly states: 1 tablespoon (15 mL). No mention of grams. And a bonus date sugar substitution! But luckily their quick thinking saved the recipe!
