Iceland and The Food Warehouse have launched a range of frozen Jamie Oliver ready meals that promise to bring the celebrity chef's dishes to the masses with a choice of six meals
Jamie Oliver has teamed up with Iceland to roll out a new line of frozen meals, and as a mum who trusts Jamie's flavours and owns four of his cookbooks, the prospect sounded promising. Now available in stores are six ready-made dishes developed by Jamie to provide quick and easy meal solutions.
I had the chance to test four samples provided by Iceland, sadly excluding the lasagnas, to determine if they might become a household hit with my family as much as his sausage pasta recipe. The £4 price tag being slightly steep for my liking, and each serving marked as "serves one", but I think there is some flexibility with this for some of the meals, reports the Mirror.
It appeared silky and glossy, and upon tasting, it had a delightful rich tomato taste and the diced beef was tender and well seasoned. One of our favourite Jamie Oliver recipes is the sausage pasta with fennel, so I'm accustomed to Jamie adding an unexpected herb and it being a success. The cottage pie is well seasoned, with a lovely sharpness from the red wine and Worcestershire sauce. It's a complex flavour for a frozen ready meal, but it doesn't taste like your average cottage pie - some will love this, others may not.
