PICK OF THE BEST GOURMET GRUB

COOK

Chicken & Portabello Mushroom Pie (£4, cookfood.net) STILL going strong after ten years selling ‘remarkable food for your freezer’. Perfect when you don’t want to cook — but want to look like you have.

PICARD

Picard Traiteur de Paris 12 Macarons (main picture, £9, ocado.com); Picard 30 Deluxe Canapes (£18.99, ocado.com) EVERY French woman’s dinner party cheat is now avaliable from Ocado. Impress guests with exquisite desserts and canapes.

WAITROSE

Waitrose Big & Juicy Whole Cooked Canadian Lobster (£11, waitrose.com) YOU’D expect to be impressed. And this lobster doesn’t disappoint. Chuck Waitrose Cooks’ Ingredients range of chopped vegetables and herbs — frozen at peak freshness — in your trolley, too.

ALDI SPECIALLY SELECTED

Prawn & White Wine Salmon Wellington (£3.99, aldi.co.uk). GOOD quality, yet affordable, frozen meat and fish. Their Specially Selected range includes scallops, mussles, tuna steaks and prawns.

ICELAND LUXURY

Chateaubriand with Red Wine Sauce (£10, iceland.co.uk). THIS cut of beef from its impressive Luxury range repeatedly sells out. Snap it up while you still can.
