I have tried a few of Loyd Grossman's cooking sauces, and this one is my favourite. It comes in a glass jar with a red lid, and a black and white photo on the label of the man himself pretending to taste, sorry I mean, tasting the delicious sauce he would like to make us think he has just made himself *cough* According to Loyd: "I like the way the sun ripened tomatoes marry with the fiery red chillies in this sauce." Hmmm... do you, Loyd? The sauce is 75% tomatoes and what tastes like very little chilli. It undoubtedly has a bit of a kick to it, but it's not overly spicy - and I say that as someone who can't handle their spicy ...  Read the complete review

I do love a good cook in sauce. I particularly like premium brand ones and don't mind paying a bit extra for them if need and to me this is one of them although I got this on offer in Asda and it only cost a pound! The Packaging: Glass see-through jar that has a red screw on/off lid to the top of it and a label around its middle with a photograph of Loyd Grossman on it and I'm told that it is indeed Loyd Grossman Tomato & Chilli 'I like the way the sun ripened tomatoes marry with the fiery red chillis in this sauce'. Other information listed on the jar includes ingredients and a nutritional chart being shown, cooking instructions are given, the ...  Read the complete review

You know how it is when you've got little time to prepare a meal and you're scouting round the kitchen for something fast? Well that's the reason I often have one of these sauces in the cupboard. They are fast and convenient and make a tasty meal when added to pasta or as the jar suggests, meat or vegetables. I don't think I've ever been in a supermarket that doesn't stock Loyd Grossman sauces, even Lidl have them! The sauces vary in price and some are just over £2 but this one was £1.75. I'm sure they used to be more expensive than this as I used to wait until they were on offer before I bought any. The jar is 350g and I think this is only really enough ...  Read the complete review

Though I tend to make most of my meals 'from scratch' I still cheat when it comes to a tomato sauce or a passata. I'm not a fresh tomato fan and while I have tried to make tomato sauces in the past I don't anymore as they taste too fresh 'tomatoey'. Terrible I know! I use passatas in so many meals - everything from bolognese and pasta to curry, pizza, lasagne and chilli con carne. Sometimes if a tomato based sauce is on offer and cheaper than a passata I will try it instead as a base for a change which is what happened in this case. Shopping in Sainsbury's one day a while ago I came across the Lloyd Grossman sauces on offer buy one get one free - £1.90 for a ...  Read the complete review

I normally cook my own sauces but for a quick meal I do like using this Loyd Grossman Sauce. The sauce comes in a clear, glass jar with a red lid. The label holds a photograph of Lloyd Grossman himself with a spoon - giving the impression he is just about to taste the sauce. The label is simple but eye-catching and informative. As stated on the jar by the man himself - "I like the way the sun ripened tomatoes marry with the fiery red chillies in this sauce." I would have to agree the sweet taste of the tomatoes is enhanced by the slightly hot chillies. I don't like my food hot at all and the sauce is more tomatoes than hot/spicy The ...  Read the complete review
