Little Dish Meals Review

Little Dish are a UK based company specialising in nutritious meals for little ones aged 12months plus. Started in 2006 by mum to be Hillary and her business partner John, they set out to create a range of fresh and healthy 'home-cooked' meals for children that parents could purchase from their local supermarket. The company has gone from strength to strength and their range of food is now stocked nationwide, with up to 100,000 little dishes being served across the UK every week.

Little Dish work with the best suppliers and only use 100% natural ingredients in all of their products, never adding salt or sugar. Prepared by hand, their yummy little dishes are made just how you would cook them at home and can be ready to eat in minutes. Whats more, every recipe is created in partnership with their nutritionist Dr Shilpee to ensure they are fresh, healthy and packed full of goodness.

Over the last few months, the team at Little Dish have been working hard in the kitchen cooking up new recipes that are even tastier and nutritious than before. The packaging has been revamped and there's also lots of new fun activities on the inside of the sleeve to keep your little ones entertained whilst you're cooking.

And that's not all  *drum roll please* Mabel has recruited lots of new friends to join her in The Little Dish Zoo Crew, meaning each meal is now adorned with it's own unique character. Cute or what?

They kindly sent a selection of their new and improved meals for Tia to review.

*Chicken And Butternut Squash Pie - British chicken, butternut squash, carrots and peas in Little Dish's signature cheese sauce topped with mashed potato.
*Spaghetti And Meatballs - British beef meatballs cooked in a tasty tomato sauce and served with italian spaghetti pasta.
*Pasta With Cheese, Peas And Broccoli Trees - Cheesy pasta shells with petit pois and mini broccoli florets.
Chicken Risotto - Bitesize pieces of British chicken and vegetables mixed together with risotto rice and cheese.

Having tried all of the meals for myself (What? There for BIG kids too!) i can honestly say that they are just as yummy and delicious as they look. The Spaghetti and Meatballs was definitely the winner though, as this is Tia's most absolute favourite thing to eat and as she cleared her plate i'm pretty sure it was just as good as mummy usually makes it.  The portion sizes in these little dishes are very generous and they are the perfect solution for busy mums and dads looking for a quick and easy ready made version of 'home cooked' meals. They were definitely a welcome treat for my sister who is a busy full time working single mum.

Verdict: If you're looking for fresh, nutritious and healthy ready meals for kids that are from a brand you can trust, great value for money, tasty and full of goodness then Little Dish is THE brand for you. Parents can be safe in the knowledge that all meals are made from the best of British ingredients and contain no added salt, sugar or preservatives. What's not to like? Try them for yourself today, you won't be disappointed.
