  • “I agree with Bill, this is a great starter recipe with endless possibilities. I doubled the Parmesan cheese and added probably 2 pinches of cumin. Wonderful Bergy. My family eats popcorn at least 2 times/week. I will try the curry idea next. Thanks so much.”

  • “This is a great ” Starter recipe “, using Parmesan Cheese as a base, that allows creative cooks to experiment a little each time until it is just right for them.”

  • “Yum!We had movie night on Friday night and fancied something nibbly to go along with our movies, and this was just fantastic.So easy to make, and ingredients that I’ve always got on hand.I only made half the recipe for the two of us, but we could quite easily have eaten more.No changes apart from that.Thanks, Bergy, this will be a regular for our movie nights, that’s for sure!”

  • “My DH bought an air popper(for caramel corn)…so we’ve been trying some different recipes.This was one of our fav’s. I baked the leftovers on a cookie sheet at 200 degrees for an hour to crisp it up. Mmm…so good. Will make often this winter. Thanks!”

  • “Very good!”

  • “Yum!I didn’t really do a lot of measuring for this – just popped a bunch of popcorn (microwave – with butter and salt already added) and sprinkled on the parmesan, cumin, thyme and cayenne.Really good mix – thanks for posting!”

  • “The first time I made this I made it twice. the second time I made it I made it three times. I am starting to think that my hubby’s friends want to have poker here because they now they will get this popcorn. So good and it literally takes 5 min to make.”

  • “DELICIOUS!!! I popped three bags of microwavable popcorn rather than doing it on the stove top- I go for the easy way when it comes to popcorn. ;0) I tossed it all in a paper grocery bag and added all the goodies on top- I shook it like crazy and dumped it in a huge bowl. Sooooo delish- and easy! Great party snack food! Thanks so much for sharing, Bergy! Love it!”

  • “This is the best popcorn recipe ever!! It literally is addicting. Whenever my husband and I make popcorn this is the only way I want to make it now!! Love it…thanks for sharing!!”

  • “I was looking for ideas to spice up popcorn and this was extremely good.However I left out the thyme and substituted corriander instead.This makes a LOT of popcorn.I ended up feeding half of it to the neighbor’s dogs the next day.They loved it by the way.I also think that you could use a bit more melted butter as the parmesan didn’t seem to want to totally stick and some ended up in the bottom of the bowl.”

  • “I love adding different spices to popcorn, and this was no exception. This combination works out great, and the Parmesan cheese is especially yummy. Thanks for sharing!”

  • “Nice change from the usual buttered popcorn.I didn’t have any cayenne pepper on hand, so I just put in a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper.As Rachael Ray would say: YUM-O!”

  • “This is Yummy, 5+Thanks for sharing”
