The Best Worst Sandra Lee Recipe Reviews
Ubiquitous
A few weeks ago, an FNH tipster suggested I start reading Sandra Lee recipe reviews
just for their sheer entertainment value. And boy, was he right. Some of the
comments from jilted, bitter home cooks were laugh out loud hysterical, and should
be highlighted and shared with as many people as possible.
And so, without further ado, here is a brief compilation of the funniest negative
Sandra Lee recipe reviews on the Food Network�s official website:
On Sandra�s Fried Cheese Ravioli
�My husband is Italian! I made this for our anniversary and am keeping my fingers
crossed that he doesn�t divorce me. They were greasy and tasteless and what few of
them he ate sat like lead in his tummy (or so he said). Please pray for our
marriage.� -MrsDocChuck
On Sandra�s Fiesta Fondue
�It was like there was a party in my mouth and everyone was throwing up.�
-Anonymous
On Sandra�s Pork Kebobs with Red Grape Sauce
�I tried it her way and then I made it with equal parts ranch dressing and catalina
dressing. Both were nasty. My boyfriend Earl gave his to the dog and the dog ran
away! Thanks for nothing Snadra� -Anonymous
On Sandra�s cabbage slaw
�Takes the enamel off your teeth! I am assuming there are some serious mistakes in
this recipe because it can�t have been intended to taste like that.� -Mary Irene
On Sandra�s Black Jack Lamb Rack
�The sauce looked and tasted like burned black tar. It was horrendous. The only way
you could actually eat the [lamb] was to scrap all the sauce off and rinse the lamb
chops off under running water.� -Anonymous
On Sandra�s Frosty Coconut Cocktail
�the coconut added nothing to this drink except a huge mess. I vacuumed my carpet
four or five times before it all came up. Honey residue is still sticking to my
good rug.� -Henrietta
On Sandra�s Prosciutto Parmesan Biscuits
�Too salty!!! Dried my mouth.� -Anonymous
On Sandra�s White Chocolate Cherry Martini
�It tasted allright at first, but then the white chocolate liqueur coagulated with
the Grenadine and it was not pretty. Actually, it was disgusting and nobody could
finish drinking it.� -Danae
On Sandra�s Grilled New York Strip with Chocolate Merlot Sauce
�I am at a loss for words to describe how incredibly bad the �chocolate merlot
sauce� was. The steak was really funky tasting to begin with (by the way, a quarter
cup of taco seasoning is twice as much as you need) but when you top it off with
that nasty, nasty tasting sauce you have something truly horrifying.� -Anonymous;
�The steak was ruined and the chocolate merlot sauce was hideous. It was better to
pour on the driveway to fill in potholes, than to put on food.� -David
On Sandra�s Creepy Cookie Cake
�Cutting oreo cookies with kitchen scissors is impossible.� -Anonymous
On Sandra�s Oriental Pork Wrappers (?!?!)
�These are greasy, slimy and totally awful. They don�t taste remotely oriental.�
-Myrrhanndah; �These look like entrails from a gutted and drained goat. Great for
forecasting coming events � bad for dinner.� -Anonymous
On Sandra�s Life�s A Beach Cake
�my poor kids were excited then became disappionted on the first bite. Bless their
hearts, even at ages 4 and 6 they have better excpectations of dessert than this.�
-Anonymous
On Sandra�s Halibut Tacos with Fish Salsa
�I must admit I would never have thought of serving fish with allspice and taco
seasoning and salsa and cole slaw and peaches. But there�s a good reason for that:
this is disgusting.� -Anonymous
On Sandra�s Stained Glass Wreath Cookies
�Give me a break. This is not Sandra Lee�s anything. This has been done for years
and years. It shouldn�t be one of Food Networks 12 featured holiday cookie recipes.
It�s not a cookie recipe, it�s a chilcren�s craft project. Anyone who jams a piece
of candy onto a pre-made cookie dough and puts it in the oven does not get to say
they baked a new recipe. I can promise you that Sandra Lee isn�t decorating her
tree with these or allowing her chefs, caterers or whoever actually prepares food
in her house to serve them to any of her guests.� -Shel
On Sandra�s Grilled Trout Ciabatta
�It didn�t even taste right. the combination of the ingredients were a really bad
idea. I�m sorry but that was like the worse thing i have ever eaten! I can never
eat trout again!� -Anonymous
On Sandra�s No-Bake Fruit and Cheesecake Parfaits
�Me and my kids made this desert this afternoon and it was a mess. Nothing set and
it smelled so bad my daughter got the dry heaves. I didn�t have no melk to make
this desert, so I used powdered instead and that made it even worse. This is not a
good recipe for poor people. � -Anonymous
On Sandra�s No-Bake Daffodil Cake
�Are you kidding me??? If one of the contestants on �The Next Food Network Star�
tried to come out with this recipe, the judging panel would kick them out of the
contest so fast their head would spin! I honestly am embarrassed for Food Network
and Sandra Lee that they aired this. � -Allison
On Sandra�s Zesty Rice Salad
�OMG was this terrible. Had no taste whatsoever. Whoever named this recipe had a
clever sense of humor. � -Mary Irene
On Sandra�s SL Spaghetti
�This was disasterous. The worst sauce ever. The garlic was way too overpoering and
unpleasant to bite into. The mushrooms didn�t cook through either. I followed the
recipe exactly. What�s the point of creating a recipe like this if you have to
tweak it on your own. I could just create my on gussied up jarred sauce if that was
the case. This was bad. It should have a warning label.� -Anonymous
On Sandra�s Chinese Braised Short Ribs
�I won�t be making THIS again!! Took a week to get the incredible odor out of the
house!� -Anonymous; �These ribs tasted terrible! I can�t get the taste of that 5
spice powder out of my mouth. My husband nearly divorced me over these.� -Anonymous
On Sandra�s Provence Style Chicken Breast Fillets (WITH LEMONADE CONCENTRATE)
�The only thing that got fed the night I made this was the garbage disposal.�
-Jeanne
On Sandra�s Szechwan Crispy Beef
�If you love your family, leave this one alone.� -Anonymous
Yikes! We all know Aunt Sandy loves her cocktail hour, but come on. Maybe she
should just stop writing recipes after that fourth Watermelon Spritzy, eh?

That's the great thing about Semi-Homemade Cooking: No matter how bad
we think it's going to be, Sandy manages to make it even worse.

Well, with all that horrific writing (i.e. misspelled words, numerous
capitalization and punctuation errors), I wonder if those "reviewers"
were even capable of following a recipe. But then again, Sandra Lee
DOES suck. <shrug>

This might be your best posting on Sandra Lee,
even though you didn't write most of it, so it
lacks your characteristic wit.

Bah. Not anonymous. That's from "Futurama", episode Parasites Lost.

My favorite passage concerned a sauce -- marinade? -- made of ranch
and catalina dressing, for some kind of kabobs. All you need to do is
be able to read to know that's not gonna be good.

More like a party in their diarrhea-filled colon.

After watching the latest installment of that great Food Network sitcom,
Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee, I was inspired to try one of the
recipes shown. Now mind you, I had no hopes that this recipe would
actually turn out well. In fact, I fully expected this recipe to be
absolutely horrible. Sounds like a good time, huh?
In "Log Cabin Camping", Sandra Lee made Smorritos. These apparently
are her answer to S'mores.
