I work in an open-plan office and for that reason we are not allowed to have a microwave at work - apparently the smell of food cooking is considered too disruptive and in some ways I agree with this as it's not nice to smell the strongly flavoured foods that some people seem to prepare in office microwaves. However, I live in the North of Scotland and around about October I start feeling dissatisfied with eating cold sandwiches for lunch and long for something warm. Soup brought in a thermos is great but a bit of a pain to prepare in the mornings. We do have a kettle at work so products that you can just add boiling water to are great. I don't find pot ...  Read the complete review

Ainsley Harriott Spice Sensation Cous Cous......... I have been a big fan of cous cous over the past year or so and have come to the conclusion that you really can't do better than Ainsley Harriott's range. I have just eaten for my lunch at work a whole packet of this Spice Sensation and have thoroughly enjoyed it.

A packet of the Spice Sensation Cous Cous costs around the 70p price range although it works out a little ...  Read the complete review

What place does a quick cous cous ready meal have in a country that is increasingly health conscious, and perpetually berated by celebrity chefs for not feeding ourselves or our loved ones with the freshest, least processed of foods? More to the point, is there such a need to accelerate the cooking speed of an already speedy food? Call me soft, but I couldn't imagine there being a manipulative nor greedy bone in Ainsley Harriot's body. So when I saw these on offer recently - to buy two for £1.00 - I thought that there must be some merit to them considering they are created/inspired by the great chef himself AH. I was searching for a quick, filling, ...  Read the complete review

With the warmer weather coming up and the barbecues being dusted off and being brought out of the shed, I always find my shopping takes a slight turn and I start buying more couscous to go with the salads and barbecues. I never used to eat couscous, thinking it was bland and tasteless. On going to a friend's barbecue last year I saw a bowl of colourful looking couscous that actually looked appealing. I have never looked back since realising couscous didn't have to be bland and horrible. Obviously you can buy plain couscous and add your own spices etc to make it flavoursome. Ainsley Harriott's spice sensation couscous has just the right mixture of flavours ...  Read the complete review
