Delicious chicken korma
I bought Charlie Bigham’s chicken korma ready meal for two from Waitrose recently, I shared this and although it doesn’t look like a big portion in the packaging, once served on a plate there is plenty for two people, lots of chicken as well. This korma is as good as any Indian takeaway, will definitely be getting this one again.

The very best 'ready meals' ive ever had! The beef stroganoff and Tikka Masala are excellent as are the meatballs. They are not suitable for microwave cooking but are excellent and 5*

I'm reviewing Charlie Binghams fish pie for one. This company should not be labelling this product as fish pie. I had not one piece of salmon, cod or haddock in the dish just creamy mashed potato. This product completely breaches the trades description act it should be labelled mashed potato! It's a complete con I paid £4.75 in Tesco for mashed potato it's a disgrace.

Nitrates and nitrites in Charlie Bigham's lasagne
Noticed that Charlie Bigham's lasagne contained bacon with nitrites and nitrates. Got in touch with them about this. Got a dismissive response indicating they were not concerned. Obviously take their customers for granted. Not me any longer.

Was very impressed initially by the flavour of these products. I then took the trouble to look at the contents & discovered that they have 5 to 10 times as much salt as other similar products by other manufacturers. That's what brings out the flavour! This is cheating in my opinion & certainly does not justify the high prices charged.

Mid week meal
I have been looking at these meals for ages and today I decided to buy the fish pie and I was so disappointed, four small pieces of salmon and four small pieces of cod in the whole pie, I don't know what happened to the haddock. Very expensive, I do not recommend and would not buy again. I think you are paying more for the fancy wooden container the pie comes in, that is thrown away, than you are the actual food.

I have just read through all of the reviews and cannot believe the amount of people that have bought C.B's meals that must be Michelin starred Chefs! The ones that have left negative comments and low star rating must be so good at cooking meals that we must bow before them. I will confess that I have not tried all of C.B's meals but the ones that I have have been 5*****! I cannot comment on the fish pie because I do not like fish! Steak & Ale pie, most of the curries, Mousaka and others that have been tried have not been disappointing. A small tip to the folk who use the "ting" machine favoured by idle people .... learn where the big red switch is to TURN THE COOKER ON!
