The pilaf was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of oil next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The pilaf was mushy and the flavors were all wrong. I ended up throwing it out and ordering takeout.

The pilaf was a bit bland for my liking. I think I'll add some extra spices next time to give it more flavor.

Not a big fan of the pilaf. The barley was a bit too chewy for my taste, and the butternut squash lacked flavor. Maybe I'll try a different recipe next time.
