A review of Jamie Oliver's new frozen meals available at Iceland reveals mixed opinions on the offerings. The reviewer, a fan of Oliver's cooking, sampled four meals, noting that the price of £4 per meal felt slightly high, especially considering the portion sizes labeled as 'serves one.' The meals aim to provide convenience for busy families, with six options currently available in stores. The 'Low & Slow Ragu' received a score of 6/10, praised for its comforting flavor but suggested to be shared between two when paired with pasta. The reviewer found the cooking instructions straightforward, highlighting the option to microwave for quicker preparation. The 'Comforting Cottage Pie' also scored 6/10, with a unique flavor profile due to the inclusion of celeriac and cloves, which may not align with traditional expectations. While the dish was well-seasoned and comforting, it diverged from the classic cottage pie taste, which could be a hit or miss for consumers. The 'Beef Rib Bourguignon' stood out with an 8/10 rating, described as delicious and suitable for sharing. Overall, the meals reflect Jamie Oliver's culinary style, aiming to deliver flavorful, comforting dishes, but the reviewer cautions that expectations should be managed regarding traditional flavors and portion sizes.
