Cheese & Tomato

Steamed Basmati with tangy tomato and cheese. This has been made for all of those who really enjoy the flavour of Margarita pizza. Tilda say this one goes nicely with meatballs.

Sweet Vegetable & Wholegrain Rice

Mild & Sweet Curry

Steamed Basmati with green beans, sweet potato and apricots – the perfect introduction to newer flavours for little ones. Tilda liked this best with chicken!

Sunshine Vegetable Rice

Steamed Basmati with butternut squash, sweetcorn, carrots and other goodies. A lovely sunny and gentle recipe for your little ones. Tilda says this goes perfectly with everything, but fish was their favourite!

So what did we think of them?  We thought they were a very good portion size, probably too large a portion for younger children, but great for older ones. They take less than a minute to heat in the microwave and for most children time they reach 9 or10years old they could heat these for themselves, can be served alone, or with cold meat and your child can like the independence of making their own meal.

Ideal for when you are pushed for time, could make these quicker than you could stop at the chip shop on the way home.

We felt the rice was slightly soggy or overcooked but were edible, but this may appeal to the younger eaters.They all incorporate vegetables so that is a great way of getting veg into the children if you have fussy eaters.

None of them were high in fat and are ideal if you are travelling to visit family and you have a fussy eater, quick to cook no matter where you are.

None of them were Bob friendly but they do all contain full allergy advice on the packets. 

We give them 8 out of 10.

We were sent one packet of each to review but the opinion of the product is our own.
