Looked really good quality.  I must admit I had not tried Little Dish before so was keen to taste. Nice meal, tasty and smelt lovely when prepared.  Not one of Gillian’s favourites and must admit not one of mine.  Still a tasty meal and if your child is a fan of vegetables then good option. .  The packaging is colourful, informative and you have all the nutritional information you need.  These are easy to keep in the freezer, and get out and heat up quickly just when you need them. Ideal for your travels and great nutritional meal ready if you have been out all day.  You can get these ready in minutes by just popping in the microwave. So easy.  Very tasty and even though not as good as homemade a very good alternative.  I did find this needed a bit of extra seasoning, but a very high quality meal. These are a bit expensive and look out for them on special offer.  However saying that they are great to have stock in the freezer for when you need them.  We have also had some ready for when friends pop round and stay longer than expected so great life saver.  These are great meals to keep in storage, tasty and nutritious.  I have already purchased and will recommend.  Debbie Partridge – Gillian  19 Months

Looked good quality.  Had heard about these before from my wife’s friend.  Looking forward to trying them.  The packaging is high quality and really good informative information on the pack about ingredients and nutrition.  Found this very helpful.  Was not problem at all to prepare?  Popped in the microwave for a few minutes and ready to serve.  Now Charlie loves his vegetables and Pasta so this was another one we were looking forward to trying, but for some reason was not a bit hit with Charlie.  Would say this was one of his least favourite meals.  Was a tasty meal but he found it difficult to eat and did not seem to excite his taste buds as much as the others.   Good quality, well prepared, easy to cook and nutritious.  A very good ready made meal to have on hand.  We have purchased more and would certainly recommend.  A good high quality meal to have in freezer for times when you need to prepare a meal in minutes.  Charles Martin – Charlie 20 Months

Good it looked nice and was easy to cook (either in the oven or the microwave). The packaging was good and had pictures.  It tasted very nice. A range of vegetables and pasta and a cheesy sauce.  Good packaging and the nutritional information was stated on the back.  Very convenient – can be cooked from frozen in the microwave in 4 minutes and held up very well being cooked as such. Or can be put in the oven as well. So very useful to have around. Very nice – while as said below not as good as home cooked for a pre packaged dinner was very nice. In fact it was such a good prepackaged meal I would consider taking it to work myself.  When on offer yes they do offer good value for money for a meal that can be made in minutes. However if you do have time to make home cooked food then that would be cheaper.  For a little child no my daughter loved it. I tasted it and it for an adult lacked a little seasoning which would not be suitable for a toddler! I think would be more suited to an older child as the lasagne was difficult for her to eat as she has only mastered the spoon and the fork and not the knife so it meant some cutting up – which she was not that keen on as she does not like me to be involved! I would not use them for every meal (it would get repetitious and expensive) I think they are an extremely useful item to have. I have marked this down slightly due to the eating issue for a younger child who likes to be independent while eating. For an older child who has mastered cutlery it would be a 4.  The little dish meals are very tasty and useful. While I think they are too expensive to be used everyday and do lack some of the taste of a home cooked freshly made meal I found they were incredibly useful to have in the fridge and freezer particularly after a day out when you could come in and within five minutes have a tasty nutritious meal served up. I will definitely be keeping them in the store cupboard for such occasions. Joanna Southwell – Samantha 18 Months
