This thread is for the Mumsnetters who have been trying Little Dish chilled toddler meals and their new range of My First Pizzas.

Here’s what Little Dish say, “When Hillary was expecting her first baby, she realised that you couldn’t buy healthy, home-cooked style meals for toddlers and young children in the shops. She set out to create a range of delicious, nutritious food made from 100% natural ingredients…and so Little Dish was born. Nearly 10 years on, we’re proud to feed around 100k little ones every week. Every Little Dish toddler meal is perfectly nutritionally balanced for a 1 to 3 year old –providing a source of protein and at least 1 portion of veg, low in salt, with no added sugar, additives or preservatives. Our new My First Pizzas are not only delicious (as approved by our Tiny Tasters) – they also provide 1 portion of veg each, contain 35% less salt than the average children’s chilled pizza and of course have no added sugar, additives or preservatives.”

Below are a few questions for you to answer about trying Little Dish meals and pizzas with your DCs – feel free to add any other thoughts you may have though, we’d love to hear them.

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
Great packaging - all mine arrived intact too which was great! DS loved the activities on the inside of the boxes. The range of meals is great and seems to offer something for everyone. We talked about what was in his meals which he liked doing and then looking for those ingredients in his food.
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
The risotto. It is similar to the one I make, but has more veg packed into it than mine, so better for him! I've added a photo of our pirate themed risotto meal using the little dish one - he ate it all up Smile
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would recommend them - they are great for a quick and easy meal that you know is healthier than standard children's ready meals.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
Really liked the look of them and after cooking they were lovely and soft and smelt great!
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
Cheese and Tomato (although the meatball one was a close second).
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would - but it would be interesting to know how much they'll cost. I really liked the hidden veg in the pizzas. Nice to know he was getting more than just a basic pizza.
  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
Maybe a range for really fussy eaters? One where the veg can't be seen by eagle eyed fussy children! For some families, the fussy stage can be so stressful and a little dish meal that looks quite plain but is packed with the good stuff would put a lot of minds at ease!

Little Dish meals
What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
The packaging looked great and the kids liked it, they smelt great and tasted great and the ingredient list was a pleasure to read!

Which was your child’s favourite meal?
The spaghetti and meatballs has so far been their favourite. Both children liked it whereas DS was the only one who liked the others (we've been using two at a time and sharing!)

Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would recommend them based on taste, convenience and the ingredients. But, I would also want to know the price as that would definitely factor into whether I bought them or not and whether I would recommend it to friends.

Little Dish My First Pizzas
What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
Both children really liked these DH and I did too We had to pick some vegetables off the meatball pizza but I still felt that the DC got a lot of nutrients from the pizza.

Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
The meatball pizza.

Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, the pizzas were a good size for a child, the ingredients were healthy and both children liked them.

I would like to know how much the pizzas would cost (and the meals). I liked the packaging for the meals and the mock packaging for the pizzas. I would actually like it if the pizzas didn't come in boxes and were just available to buy with the information printed on a label on the shrink wrapping as they would be a lot easier to store.

The two meals that neither child liked much was the Cottage Pie and the Chicken with Butternut Squash. I was very surprised by them not liking the cottage pie as they like it when I make it, however when cooked it had an orange tinge to it (presumably from the vegetables? I hope so!) that did make it look a bit off-putting.

Lariflete · 07/08/2015 22:05

What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
I would like some healthy, savoury snacks. I always seem to give them fruit / Bear Yoy-Yo's and I could do with some inspiration for different healthy snacks!

Bubbles85 · 07/08/2015 22:16

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
They were a good size for my LO and I like the variety of meals available. I liked the packaging.
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
She liked the chicken & veg risotto. Risotto is not something I usually cook so great that she gets to try it.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, it was so easy to prepare and on an evening without much time or for trips away at the weekend I think it's ideal.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
I thought they looked delicious but were a bit small. My 19 month old devoured it all and was still hungry!
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
The chicken and pesto was her favourite but she loved all three - no wastage at all, not even any thrown on the floor (unfortunately this happens quite a lot with other things)
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, they are really cute, my daughter liked them and they were so easy to prepare!
  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
Perhaps a cauliflower cheese or a chicken & vegetable pie
Mumonabroom · 08/08/2015 04:45

We love our little cool bag and spoon and the HUGE amount of meals to try! Thank you. So far the Meatball pizza has been a big hit with my youngest. I love the fact it's less salty and the packaging looks eye catching. Trying fish pie tonight!

hankyspanky · 08/08/2015 09:21

Our delivery arrived Wednesday around 10am which was good, as I hate endlessly waiting for deliveries! It was all intact and well packaged. We too had the gel first aid pack Hmm.

So far we have only had the chance to try the Cheese and Tomato pizza. Unfortunately, it didn't go down too well. The bottom was quite soft and my little one prefers a crispier base.

I will report back when we have had the chance to try the other meals.

Thank you for choosing us.

HitsAndMrs · 08/08/2015 09:24

Just to add to my feedback- the packaging is excellent. DDs chose which meal they wanted from the animals on the front. Panda etc.
Other things I'd like from little fish - I find most childrens meals are the same so maybe something that isn't out there already. A roast chicken dinner with gravy and maybe a snack box with cucumber, hummus, breadsticks and sweet potato crisps etc.

TheImprobableGirl · 08/08/2015 09:38

*Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?*
Well packaged, great expiry dates, looked good portion sizes for smaller children, liked how clear the ingredients etc were. Which was your child’s favourite meal? Dd2 loved the chicken risotto, it took a fair while to cool down though. Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not? I would definitely recommend to parents of 1-3 year old but any older than this and I think portion sizes would be a tad small

Little Dish My First Pizzas
hat was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
I didn't expect them to be small and fat, rather flatter (more thin crust) and less doughy. They didn't look super appealing

which was your child’s favourite pizza?
Definitely cheese and tomato. Neither of them enjoyed the chicken pesto really,it was too strong

Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
It would depend on the pricing strategy. I think two should be packaged together if expiry dates allow for up to 5 days?

What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
I would love to see healthy vegetarian meals for kids, maybe a pre-packed lunch type meal made of more finger food (houmous and crudités, bruschetta type bread, pasta shapes, cooked carrots/beans/broccoli) etc

crimsonwitch · 08/08/2015 14:35

Little Dish meals
- What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals? They look great, the packaging is eye catching, and my ds loves the free spoon.

  • Which was your child’s favourite meal? He gobbled down the lasagne like he was starved, so i would say that one up to now. However, the fish pie was a no go, he spat it into his hand and lovingly placed in on the sandwich I was currently enjoying Grin
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not? Yes, they look good, and have a good list of ingredients.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas? They look really appetising, I might pinch one myself.
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza? He has only had the cheese and tomato, but he loved it.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not? Yes, they are great for a toddler lunch.
  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make? Some tasty desserts would be nice.
Chicinwellies · 08/08/2015 17:08

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
Great eye catching branding and clear nutritional value displays. Loved the cut out characters on the inside of the cardboard - amused them for full cooking time! I guess from an educational value a paddleboarding panda didn't really relate to the content but it was nonetheless nice to look at and easy to read all the ingredient values etc.
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
The fish pie - it smelt and tasted amazing, filled up my daughter and had less salt I it than the other fish pies we have tried.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
I definitely would, they ticked all the boxes. Their least favourite, the shepherds pie, was actually the one the grown ups thought tasted the nicest when they had a sneaky sample!

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
Size wise they were ideal - and a great balance of ingredients spread over them. When they cooked in the aga they were lovely and fluffy and we had zero crust complaints!
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
The meatball option. Cheese and tomato the least, as for them just a little bland. These are children who devour snails and frogs legs lol and always lean towards stronger flavouring.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would recommend the brand but we do enjoy making our own pizzas for friends a lot so these would definitely be a respectable reserve. My nephew will love them.
  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
That's a tricky one - the range already seems very good - perhaps a bangers and mash or a risotto(our vegetable hiding favourite).
Solasum · 08/08/2015 18:56
  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals? I really like the idea of natural, vegetable packed almost homecooked meals that can be ready in a few minutes. Generally speaking though, I only feed my son things I am happy to eat myself, and I found almost all of the meals very bland indeed. I was not surprised that DS wouldn’t really eat them. The portion sizes and packaging were good. The cooking time seemed a little long, though. It took about five minutes from microwaving to edible temperature.
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
He ate more of the chicken and vegetable risotto than the other meals, but to be honest that is not saying much.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Only if their children are used to eating baby food. Not if they have been weaned onto family meals.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
Great idea I am fed up of DS stealing my pizza the packaging was very ‘busy’ though.
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
He ate them all happily.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes.
Pimmsbear · 08/08/2015 19:17

Well have to say I'm impressed with their speed on reading this thread! Having complained on here on Wednesday about the fact the box & contents had arrived in a total mush & were ruined, got home today to find a set of vouchers allowing us to go & get some more meals to test out. I'm really impressed by that level of service so have dispatched DH to shop straight away to get some more to test. Will report back ASAP...Smile

ThisToo · 08/08/2015 19:48

We also received vouchers and an apology in the post this morning Smile so will be replacing the spoilt meals the next time we go shopping. Thank you! So far we can report that the meatball pizza, veg and all, was by far the favourite of the pizzas. I would buy it again and probably the margherita providing the price was right. We wouldn't bother with the pesto chicken one though as DS (2.7) was not impressed. The size is perfect and the packaging looks good. The only thing we would change is the thickness of the base. We prefer thin and crispy so found the base very doughy and quite a mouthful for a very little one. If it was a third thinner that would be great.
As for the meals - DS liked the flavour of the turkey meatballs with herby tomato pasta but did not like the very soft, tiny pasta pieces. I had to serve it with some extra, normal sized, fusilli. Tonight I microwaved the chicken and butternut squash pie for dinner but found it very soupy until I'd given it a very good stir and left it to cool a bit. I wouldn't describe it as a "pie" but it tasted fine. DS would have been happy with a few more peas in it though. Will report again when we've tried the others Smile

OnMyShoulders · 08/08/2015 20:04

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?

Although I usually cook from scratch, my DD is going through a fussy stage and is refusing family meals and seems to be surviving on toast, yoghurt and banana. These are a super solution for us just now. No added nasties, good portion size and lots of choice. I liked the packaging too. Attractive, lots of information and an activity for DD on the reverse.

  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?

Unfortunately, our delivery was a bit of a mess when it arrived and only two of the five meals had survived the journey. The ones we were able to rescue and test were the Cottage Pie with Six Veg (pictured) and the Spaghetti and Mini Meatballs. My DD wasn't actually keen on either - she said they were 'too sticky' but I thought they smelled yummy. DH tasted them and thought they were ok, perhaps a bit bland and had a hint of 'ready meal' taste.

  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?

Probably, but I think that they are more suited to kids who have been weaned onto baby food, rather than family meals.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?

They arrived without the packaging on but we were sent packaging samples which I loved - so cute! I thought the pizzas looked great (although as before, only 2 of the 3 made it - the other was soggy from the exploded meals) and were the perfect size.

  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?

We tried the Pesto Chicken & Veg which DD welcomed with gusto, however once she tried it, she declared that it tasted 'like custard' and pushed it away. We've since discovered that 'like custard' is DD for 'disgusting'! DH tried it and thought it was really bland and that 'there was nothing to get her tastebuds going'. We tried the Classic Margherita the next night and hoped that this might go down better being a bit plainer but DD reacted in the same way. DH and I actually thought that it had a really weird, unappealing smell to it - a bit like coffee/ash(!)/aeroplane food.

  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, if your DC will eat it. Normal pizzas are so full of yuk, these are a much better alternative.

VodkaValiumLattePlease · 08/08/2015 20:51

My little one loved the pesto chicken pizza and the cheese and tomato. I thought they were a little doughy to be honest but he thought they were yummy.

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
Ok - when I tried them reasonable taste and apart from some initial resistance so did ds 3i would like them to have more veg though - with home cooking and leftovers I can get as much meat etc into him but not veg
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
Fish pie
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
A lot of my friends can be a bit snobby about this type of thing - feeding them or others are my little secret helper. However I can't see that these are a brand better or worse than others of the type eg karmel or m&s Little Dish My First Pizzas
  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
I liked the look of them ds refused to eat them - we have offered pizzas before and he only nibbled I though smaller ones were worth a try
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
None
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
No probably for reason above but even more so with pizza
chickenfuckingpox · 08/08/2015 22:05

they look really good unfortunately they are not going down well at all with my l/o 3 meals in and he has had literally a mouthful of each before slinging it at me! he is not usually a fussy eater!

Eyre89 · 09/08/2015 13:51

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?

I love the fact they have at least one of your five a day in for them, that is the best thing about them really. Some of the consistencies were quite watery the cottage pie, shepherds pie and fish pie were all very liquid. He still ate them but they taste quite bland not from lack of salt but some herbs would be a welcome addition, if present you cant taste them. You definitely needed the spoon as they were too wet for a fork. The ravioli pasta was a strange texture and he would not touch it at all after one try.

  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?

He loved the curry the best although it was a large portion of rice to meat and sauce ratio, but he loves rice so it was a hit and what he ate most of. Followed by the fish pie which he enjoyed apart from the pollock. See attached photos.

  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would as a quick alternative which is well nutritionally balanced but the issue for me is the constancy at times and the lack of flavour. He ate them but never a full one and he normally eats well.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?

They looked good and a nice portion size. Again though they were bland and they cooked very dark following the cooking instructions. My DS loves pizza but he would not eat any of yours at all. Packaging was good.

  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?

None of them unfortunately he wouldn't eat any of them.

  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would tell friends about them and let them make their own mind up but based on my experience they aren't for us.

  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?

Some chilli or stew type meals would be good.

Have attached some photos of him eating the fish pie.

factor

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 09/08/2015 15:15

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
They're great. DD2 loved them. DD1 wasn't keen, but she never is, so I wouldn't take that as a criticism of the food.
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
DD2 loved the fish pie most, but also devoured the shepherds pie & cottage pie.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes. DD2 loves them. I know she's getting a decent meal and it tastes better than my cooking.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
They looked good. Lovely thick base, which the DDs prefer. DH said they looked like the pizzas from the college canteen that "they ruined by putting healthy crap like vegetables on"
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
DD1 loved her first slice of the chicken pizza, but then decided she didn't like the chicken. She loved the meat balls, which I knew she would, but I was surprised she tried them in the first place. She picked off the green veg, but didn't notice the rest. Overall her favourite was probably the cheese & tomato. DD2 liked the cheese & tomato and the chicken pizzas best. She was suspicious of the meatball. DH loved all of them.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes. I like the hidden vegetables in the sauce and the fact they're lower salt. They'd have to cost less than the M&S pizzas (£1) though, because the DDs absolutely love those.
  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
A mild chilli, tagine, or casseroles/stews, perhaps.
peepy · 09/08/2015 16:55

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
Nice choice of meals, good ingredients and looked healthy and good quality, happy to feed these to my dc. My dc loved them.
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
Alphabet pasta bolognaise.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
They seemed a bit small, not sure I would bother to put the oven to cook one of these. Not as convenient as the ready meals. I would just give my dc some of a big pizza if that's what we were having for dinner.
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
Cheese and tomato
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
No, they seem too small and I would expect they are expensive for what they are based on the price of the ready meals.
  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
Snacks and deserts

Thanks for the trial, My little one loved the ready meals and I will be buying them in future.

thatstoast · 09/08/2015 17:45

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
I like the look of them and the variety. Unfortunately DS wasnt so keen.
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
He wouldn't eat any of them. Even the ravioli which he likes when I make if.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
I think they're worth a go so would recommend. I tried them and thought they were better than most foods marketed at toddlers.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
I think they look great and I like the taste. Again, DS not so much.
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
Couldn't pick as he would only nibble. Didn't eat as much as a slice of any of them.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Again, if the child will eat it then they're probably worth having. DS isn't fussy so I was surprised that he didn't enjoy the meals and pizzas.
  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
Not sure as DS won't eat any current products.
Francesca89 · 09/08/2015 18:21

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
Well packaged, I thought the little activities on the inside of the packaging was a nice touch, although my son was too young to do any of them being 17 months old. I loved the little named animals on the front, stating their favourite foods too! I thought the portion sizes were excellent and my son ate nearly all of it, bar the pizzas.
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
The curry, he loved it! He does love his rice dishes and happily fed himself (with his hands - rice EVERYWHERE! Wink). It was fab the curry had added fruit to it. I think it could have perhaps had a little more seasoning, as with the other foods. My son is enjoying exploring different tastes and is noticeably turning his nose up at standard bland baby food. I was disappointed to find the Little Dish curry stained his clothes! After two washes, they are still present Angry
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, I would recommend them. The meals had a long use by date and I think it was good they could either be chilled or frozen, freeing up space in either the fridge or freezer. They were very easy to stick in the oven and cook. I like the fact there were no added nasties and the meals had lots of veg included.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
I thought they looked really appetising and I thought the range of toppings were good. They smelt delicious whilst cooking, but didn't taste of much. My son has happily eaten pizza before, but wouldn't touch the chicken pesto pizza or the cheese and tomato pizza.
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
The meatball one, as said before. Sadly, he wouldn't touch the other two.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
I'm undecided. I think they're probably a good idea when you first start Baby Lead Weaning, but I don't think they really appeal to toddlers due to the lack of taste and very soft pizza bases. A little more cheese on top could make them more appealing. The cheese was very sparse!
  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
Perhaps some desserts or snack-type things to nibble on throughout the day between meals?

Many thanks for choosing us to test your food! Grin

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?
Well packaged, my dd likes the activities on the inside of the cardboard cover.
  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
The lasagne and fish pie were my dd's favourite. The portion sizes are good, I add extra veg on the side as my dd is getting older and will eat more.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, I would recommend them. I like the fact that they can be microwaved for their days that you need something quickly. The meals had a long use by date which means i can keep them in the fridge for longer. Brilliant that they can also be cooked from frozen.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
the packaging is very eye catching, my dd was happy to look at it for a while. The first impression of the pizza is that they were a perfect size but the toppings didn't seem to go far enough out to the edge, leaving a fairly big "crust". The chicken pesto pizza didn't have very much chicken on. Saying that dd loved them, and even ate the crust on the one that I cooked from fresh. It seemed softer than when cooked from frozen.
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
The meatball one and the cheese and tomato one. I note that those were the two I didn't freeze. As I said before they seemed to stay softer and not have such a hard crust.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would. I would much prefer to give her these pizza's for size and health reasons than the larger adult pizzas. Fab for a quick tea or lunch.

  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make.
Desserts please! With less sugar than the adult versions... Eg Apple crumble or trifle????
Allisgood1 · 09/08/2015 19:32

Little Dish meals

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish meals?

Not impressed. Other than the pizza they all resembled baby food (stage 3). Although most smelled nice, they were really quite bland.

  • Which was your child’s favourite meal?
The cheese pizza went down the best. All the others were basically spat out.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish meals to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
No. If I'm honest, it's overpriced baby food.

Little Dish My First Pizzas

  • What was your overall impression of Little Dish My First Pizzas?
Wow, these are small. I did like that they were packed full of veg unlike the normal supermarket pizza.
  • Which was your child’s favourite pizza?
Cheese. I tried all three on 3 children (11m, and two 3yr olds). They didn't like the chicken or meatball pizza.
  • Would you recommend Little Dish pizzas to friends or relatives? If so, why? If not, why not?
Again, no. It's overpriced.
  • What other healthy, natural food would you like Little Dish to make?
Your normal range but more aimed at toddlers-preschoolers. You can cut things up small. You can't make things bigger. Also add a touch more seasoning.
