I doubled the spices in this, added extra mustard seed, and it still came out very bland. There's a reason that other reviewers are calling for the addition of cayenne. I recommend several cloves of garlic and maybe a little fennel. The recipe probably did not need the heavy cream, and calories could be saved that way. It does taste like a filling for a meat pie or a quiche, so maybe mixed with carbquick it could still be low-carb for dieters.
