    This was so salty it was inedible! I hate having to throw food away, but this went right into the garbage. The flavor combination was good, but I would cut the salt back to ONE teaspoon, not four.

    Simple, and so yummy! I loved the complexity of the flavor profile. Sweet, savory and spicy all at once. I made the recipe in a half batch because it was only for me, and it still worked wonderfully. Thanks Nigella!

    Sorry Nigella, this sure looked great on TV, but I luckily tasted it first before trying it on guests. Like others have commented this is unbelievably salty (wish I had read the reviews first. I love salty, buttery popcorn, but I couldn't eat more than a handful of this. Loved the cumin, paprika, cinnamon and sugar combination though. Will try again and salt afterwards to taste.

    SUCH a unique flavor combination, and extremely addictive. I make this for all my Christmas parties and, this year, I'm making it to give as gifts, as well.

    I really like the flavor, but the recipe called for a little too much salt. We needed to drink a lot of water after eating it. I usually don't like popcorn, but I would definitely try this one again, with less salt of course.

    I would make this again but with HALF the salt, it was WAY too salty.
    Good flavor, I would have melted the salt and sugar more in the butter, it was a bit thick and didn't pour as smooth as it looked on television.

    I was looking for a quick easy way to make popcorn differently tonight, and this was a hit with everyone from age 2 to 32

    We made this for a party last night and no one could stop eating it. The combination of spices may sound strange, but trust me--it's delicious. We used smoked paprika. It is salty, but I like salty popcorn. I think the key to getting it to coat the popcorn evenly is to not let the butter mixture actually bubble...just let it melt and stir it in.

    Tasty and addictive! Make it even better by using your air popcorn popper. We didn't think it too spicy and thought that even kids would like it.
