So disappointed. It always looks so nice and bought my first one today for this evening's meal as out and about. Chicken in soy sauce with ginger. A handful of small cubed chicken pieces, not even a whole chicken breast, no where near enough for two, the strips of ginger and kale were tough and inedible. The sauce was tasty and thank goodness I did extra veg to soak it up! Will not buy again.

Had the beef bourginion. Some of the meat was too overcooked and the sauce was not nice. Alcohol not cooked out.

Our experiences with your company’s food packaging has been very good. Sadly what holds the contents is so very superior to the food.

Lasagne al forno. Tasty of plastic. Always been good previously. Complained to Cook last month when we had a sub standard meatballs. Tgey insisted nothing had changed. Doubting that now.

I have enjoyed several Cook froducts but the Duck Confit I bought yesterday was dire. The sauce was too sweet (and had no trace of the much-needed acidity), the duck meat itself was good but came with a great thick layer of fatty, flabby skin. Because this had been cooked in a sauce it was NEVER going to be crisp and should have been removed from the dish beforehand. It also meant , that when I'd removed it, the apparent amount of actual meat in the dish was much less than it looked. Very disappointing and the dish needs urgent improvement

Lamb Moussaka(serves 1) was so disappointing - mostly potato and two very small slices of aubergine with very little flavour. I usually find Cook meals excellent but this was awful and I could only eat half and put the remainder in the bin.

Spent a small fortune on Canapes for Christmas 2022. very disappointed apart from sausage rolls which were ok but have had better from M&S. The canapes that had pastry such as pinwheel spinach and pesto ,thai chicken. The fillings cooked and almost burned before the pastry browned so looked raw. Most all were not worth the price. I have purchased many food items from them but will not be going back. They have cut corners but still prices are high.

We had butter chicken curry. Would have been better with a stir in jar sauce. What little chicken there was was tough and dry the sauce was absolutely full of undercooked chunks of onion. Butter curry is usually smooth. It had no discernable flavour to make it butter chicken over any other generic orange coloured curry. Really disappointed- we got these for new years eve as a treat. Won't be buying from this company again. Over priced and under-deliverd.

I have enjoyed most dishes from Cook for a few years. This week tried your orange and apricot tarte dessert- it was dreadful, so dry and no flavour at all. very disappointed to have to throw most of it away. What went wrong? I did buy this item from a stockist, not a Cook shop so praps that the answer ?

Lamb Moussaka. Possibly the worst pre-prepared meal I've ever tasted. The Aubergine was the only flavour I could distinguish. Really disappointed. Certainly won't buy that again.

I think they call it Grand Fish Pie, anyway a big fish pie to serve 8. There were 6 of us and we had a reasonable, certainly not large, portion each. It was nice, but not as good as I’d have made myself. And £36! I did expect something more special and certainly larger portions.

I bought my Cook meal from Co op, I had previously bought a Lamb curry, which I enjoyed, although would have preferred slightly hot taste. I enjoyed the Lamb Kofta & Dhal, I was expecting a bit more spice. The reason I gave 4 stars is portion size, these portions are small, ingredients like dhal are not expensive and I would have liked more in this meal. Overall these meals have good flavours and I would recommend if you have a small appetite.

I first bought Moroccan Spiced Lamb Tagine & Gin & Tonic Semifreddo which were both enjoyable so I ordered a variety of dishes. Unfortunately each dish since has been more disappointing than the previous one. Tonight we ate the second last - Roasted Sea Bass & Romanesco Sauce £13. After cooking from frozen for 1 hour, as per instructions, I have never seen such a small, dry, shrivelled up sea bass. Potatoes & Romanesco sauce were edible. I don’t know whether to cook the last dish - Salmon & Asparagus Gratin for 4 @ £18 - or chuck it in the bin. Never again & definitely not to be recommended. Ordering process & delivery were faultless, shame the food wasn’t the same. Can’t help wondering where Trustpilot got their reviews!

Such a shame, have bought their meals for years. Absolutely delicious , quality has dropped so much, can barely tell what you're eating ! Something has definitely changed, won't be buying anymore

Have had a couple of meals and find them over rated. Nothing special. Too expensive.

I started using COOK foods a few months ago and lived the first meals but unfortunately the last few I've bought have not been the same as previous meals, thin sauces and nowhere near as tasty or as good quality, so very disappointing.
