I have been friends with the 4 Seasons brand for a long time and closely: it all started, of course, with simple vegetable mixtures, much later I joined both their berries and a new line of full-fledged ready-made exotic dishes.

4 Seasons is a terry average in terms of prices, but, most importantly, there are a lot of cheap brands, but to have high-quality vegetables inside the packages - not all brands are inclined to provide, even expensive ones. Here, the waste from cutting vegetables has not yet come across, rarely found pieces with dark spoiled areas.

And yet, their simple vegetables alone cannot be eaten as a side dish: tasteless, flavors ... not only illiterate combinations, but whether the vegetables are processed somehow wrong, or something else ... So vegetables from simple freezing 4 Seasons, we only interfere as an additive, if necessary, in other dishes (from soup to a compound vegetable garnish with a large amount of fresh vegetables).

Plus from Season 4, more simple and non-exotic mixtures WITHOUT potatoes have now appeared on sale (they usually came in huge quantities in their mixtures and had some very strange taste, and this, I think, is a huge minus): Mexican, lecho, paprikash, summer.

Most of all vegetables I definitely like "Mexican mix": it is very tasty in itself - an ideal and universal combination of a large number of ingredients, and as a full-fledged side dish 100% alone, and practically suits any dish. IMHO the only full-fledged "thing in itself" in this brand. And, yes, not a gram of spicy - just the most typical vegetables for Mexican dishes.

Season 4 had a variety of simple dishes like Sorrel Soup, rice with vegetables before, but not so long ago a line of “ready-made dishes with a claim” was released (and now it has been expanded to as many as 23 items): from Lagman "," Champignon de Paris "and before the Japanese" Yakisobi "and the Australian" Tyrolean Pork ". It cannot be said that it is tasty, and not only because many things are too specific (not even exotic, but specific), but also because EVERYTHING is prepared according to the principle of achieving the “possible minimum” and catchy, but unnatural taste. The gravies and spices are not natural, the combinations of ingredients are often an inept attempt to make something out of nothing, lamb is always stale with flavors (and, in principle, any meat here in every dish is not very good, although the quantity is not something to save on). For example, “Sakenu”, “Chakhokhbili with beans” could not eat at all, and threw away almost 400 rubles, “Fondue Emental” is not sure that someone else can eat because of the wild taste of stale broccoli, overshadowing everything else. "Bozbash", "Risotto", "Paella", "Chicken curry" finished with great difficulty. Itself, solely for a change, I buy from them "Lagman", "Pork in sweet and sour sauce" (a very sweet dish with whole mini-corn), "Champion de Paris" (keep 1.5 longer on the fire when cooking, otherwise large pieces potatoes are not baked, and it is impossible to eat) and very rarely "Pilaf with mutton". I want to try the newest Prima Verde, Tyrolean Pork and Yakisoba. On sale, these dishes are far from everywhere, and they are most often expensive - from 215 rubles. for 1 pack.

But there are no complaints at all about the berries of Season 4: the quality is excellent, the variety is also only pleasing. But not all of them are cheap. And so, half defrosted, mixed 1 packet with 3 to 5 tablespoons of sugar (fructose, honey - even better!) - and the filling for amazing pies made of yeast-free puff pastry is ready. The pies are really excellent: fast, cheap, cheerful, healthy and dietary, very tasty.

We buy various frozen vegetables at home quite often. We love all kinds of mixtures.
In particular, these include frozen vegetables of the "4 seasons" brand. I liked it very much from this manufacturer.

And this is another mixture from "4 seasons" - "Rustic vegetables" we got it for a promotion in some store, the price was lower than usual.

The packaging is bright and attracts attention with the beautiful and juicy vegetables depicted on it.

I make such a mixture at home very simply, put a frying pan on the fire, pour out all the contents and cook with a little oil, add a little water if necessary. Naturally, I add a little salt (usually I take it). Then you get a delicious stewed and cooked dish of vegetables, which, moreover, does not have to constantly stand and stir at the stove.

You can also eat it as a separate independent dish. It is in this version that we like most of these vegetable mixtures. Of course, to taste and desire, you can add sour cream (even during cooking), sauce, who likes what. Very tasty!

Answer from Victor[guru]
There may not be anything in the refrigerator, but the frozen mixture must lie! She entered our life quite unexpectedly and firmly established herself there! We bought it for the first time quite by accident, fried it as a side dish for meat and were pleasantly surprised. Firstly, the vegetables are of very high quality, washed, already cut, there are no spoiled ones, and most importantly, you can see that they are really "freshly frozen". Secondly, it is very easy to prepare. We use them fried (with a small amount of sunflower oil, slightly salted), boil them for a low-calorie dinner, bake them with fish, potatoes or meat (you can add mayonnaise, cheese or minced meat), I really like soups: I add them to ready-made meat or fish ( from sea fish) broth, spices and melted Hochland cheese (you can do without it), I can also recommend frying small pieces of sea fish, pouring sour cream and seasoning sauce, and later add pre-defrosted vegetables. We love to boil cauliflower first, then dip it in a salted egg and fry for 10 minutes, it turns out very well.
