I don't use a lot of herbs and spices and yet I have a huge rack full of them in the kitchen. I mainly use chives in my home made chicken and sweetcorn soup or in mash while using rosemary on chicken breasts. However I found that when fresh chives weren't growing in the colder months that even the cheap dried equivalent were retailing at almost £1 a tiny pot which was lasting for just 3 pots of soup and increased the price per pot and per bowl up much higher were they not included and so I decided to have a go with some mixed herbs to see if they were any better. While browsing the shelves there was a huge abundant choice of herbs to choose from but mixed herbs there ...  Read the complete review

I love to cook and I think seasoning is very important when creating something good to eat. During the summer months I used fresh herbs from the garden, but this isn't always possible in the depths of winter when they have all died down. Then, I have to resort to dried herbs. When you shop for dried herbs there are many to choose from at all ends of the price spectrum. For something like mixed herbs you really need not pay through the nose for them and it is worth giving Tesco Value herbs a try as they are not at all bad! Just because they come in the usual Value Brand package does not mean they contain an inferior product. I have used these herbs ...  Read the complete review

I cook a fair bit, and most of its things that are cooked reasonably slowly over a couple of hours or more. Because of this, I find that using dried herbs is just as good as using fresh would be because they have plenty of time to rehydrate in the cooking process, and to impart their flavour into the dish. For me, mixed dried herbs are one of those things which it's important to always have in the house. I use them in stews, bolognaise sauce, and many other things too, and without them none of these dishes ever taste quite right to me. Tesco value mixed dried herbs are great. They fit the bill of being mixed dried herbs, and they're exceedingly cheap ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that I really like cooking in fact I wish I had more time and money to allow me to cook some of the dishes that I really want, some days as I am sure you have gathered from my previous reviews I have to just thrown a ready meal into the oven or have a quick fix tea but when I have a little more time on my hands I do enjoy being creative with food and over time I am happy to experiment with flavours and to try different dishes with different combinations. If you were to take a look inside my kitchen cupboards then you will see quite a collection of various herbs and spices, I used to have a spice rack but after using some on a frequent basis and ...  Read the complete review

We get through quite a lot of mixed herbs because even though I cook a lot out of the freezer, my mum tries to make as many of our meals as possible from scratch. She likes to try a lot of the cheapo supermarket ranges and when she brought this pot of Tesco Value Dried Mixed Herbs she also brought a jar of her usual brand because she wasn't expecting this one to be much good. The 18g pot only costs 19p and that's a big difference to the Schwartz mixed herbs she usually gets because that costs £1.05 for a 9g jar. When I opened the tub and poured some mixed herbs out I saw straight away that it looks a lot dustier than the more expensive mixed herbs ...  Read the complete review
