Parent Panel review by Clare
- review date 30 November 2007
My son adored these meals. Admittedly they were a lot tastier than the usual pasta with tomato sauce and cheese that I cooked him and he really seemed to enjoy trying something new.
The ingredients are organic and the food tastes very fresh. Some interesting options too - great to entice fussy tots to try something new.
Packaging was very child friendly and Joe loved the fact that I was cooking something especially for him.
Expensive but worth it if you're after some great quality convenience food to have at home.
Be warned - the food can get quite hot so make sure you give it plenty of time to cool down! In our haste to try it, we delved right in without letting it cool and spent the afternoon with a very red tongue!
Highly recommended.
| Best Feature: Great ingredients, super-efficient preparation |
| Worst Feature: A tad pricey so perhaps not for everyone |
| Verdict: An interesting range that kids will no doubt enjoy |

"Great tastes for fussy toddlers"
My boy can be tricky when it comes to trying new foods but when I showed him the Mini Diners box he was excited to give it a shot.
At £3.49 a pack they're not exactly cheap, but the ingredients are all natural and organic so you know your child is getting the very best.
Fin liked the Moroccan style lamb tagine with chickpeas and the pork and apple casserole was devoured too...a surprise since I'd normally have a bit of a fight on my hands to get him to eat anything like that.
For us though, the hit was the pasta sauces. The ragu style sauce and cheesy pasta sauce were a real treat and have a genuine homemade taste and feel to them. My husband and I even gave them a shot!
All in all I think this range is a great idea that will allow busy parents to prepare a guilt-free quick and easy meal with a clean conscience.
The portions are also a great size - very generous so ideal for hungrier toddlers.
