Top 8 comforting microwave meals for days you don't feel like cooking

Meat and veg put to the test
Top 8 comforting microwave meals for days you don't feel like cooking

We were quite impressed with what was available.

We’re weary, unwell, or fed up with cooking. So, how do we nourish ourselves? Plenty of pre-cooked lasagnas, spicy chicken wings, and curries can be found in supermarkets. But what about when our systems cry out for plain, recognisable food free from spices, additives, dried herbs, and fancy batters? Sometimes, all we want is retro food, meat, and two vegetables.

A friend whose wife is seriously ill recently told me how he has come to rely on his local supermarket turning out ready-cooked meals such as bacon and cabbage and roast beef and gravy. It got me thinking and curious about what’s out there. A Top 8 for meat and two veg became our theme, and we were quite impressed with what was available.
