Reviewers repeatedly praise the freshness and flavor of the spice blends, along with the included recipe cards. Many buyers describe enjoyable month-to-month discoveries, and gift recipients are clearly pleased. A small group reports billing issues and subscription changes made without notice. A few also point to limited options for scheduling subscriptions.
Examples from available reviews (Dec 2021 – Mar 2026).
Customer received nothing and couldn't obtain a refund; subscription still billed.
“they are still billing / charging me.”
Company stopped offering subscriptions and didn't inform existing customers.
“they were no longer offering subscriptions.”
Reviewer praised spice quality, recipes, and fast delivery.
“Great quality spices , interesting recipes and fast delivery !”
Reviewer praised the company's customer service as exceptional.
“Customer service above and beyond!”
Several reviews mention helpful order support and fast delivery for add-ons. A small number cite missed deliveries and continued charges without a refund. These complaints focus on billing and subscription fulfillment, not what’s inside the box.
Customers often point to spice quality and the recipes as the main sources of value. Several call the boxes strong gifts and a worthwhile monthly treat. A few felt the first package didn’t offer enough variety, which lowered the value for them.
Many users describe a fun, hands-on cooking experience and say the recipe cards are easy to follow. Two reviews mention limited control over choosing subscription start dates. Navigation and overall use draw more praise than criticism.
Most comments highlight fresh, flavorful herbs and thoughtfully curated spice blends. Reviewers name specific blends and note how the mixes lift their cooking. Some feedback asks for more regional variety across shipments.
Some customers describe customer support as excellent and say the team went “above and beyond.” Others report sudden subscription changes and too little notice about service availability. Reviews show a clear split between strong staff praise and serious communication lapses for a few users.
Most reviewers describe enjoying new flavors and recipes and say the boxes work well as gifts. A minority report billing problems or subscription cancellations that clearly disrupted their experience. These negative cases stand out and cluster apart from the broader positive feedback.
For each review, the core experience based on original source reviews.

It's more than just a collection of recipes.
It's a modernized version of a classic collection that has provided nourishment to families for hundreds of generations.
I'm not sure how they managed to cram so much information into such a small amount of space, but they did it.
Make fast dip dishes with only five ingredients one minute, and the next you'll be putting up a five-course meal complete with wine pairings!
Everything from breakfast, lunch, and dinner to desserts and snacks are all available in one convenient location, which is what I appreciate the most.
They've even provided cocktail recipes and party planning advice in this edition!
