As an avid cook, one of the ways that I maintain my 'Mellow' status is through keeping a few emergency meals in my store cupboard. The range of foods available from Ilumi on www.ilumiworld.com are all made from organic ingredients with no additives or preservatives and they are all made in the North of England.

I tried Chicken Cacciatora in a sealed pouch which was re-heatable in the microwave within 2 minutes. It had large, succulent pieces of chicken in it and was extremely tasty. I also tried Spanish Style Rice and Vegetables which is very similar to a dish I cook at home... I would say that the vegetables had suffered a little from having to be steamed or cooked in a way such as to preserve it - they were more soft than I would have preferred but the overall dish was great. Many of the ilumi meals are designed to be a full meal in one dish - they are a bit smaller than I would normally cook, but then that is probably a good thing!!!
The sachet of food that I most enjoyed from the ilumi range was a sweet chilli stir fry sauce, which at £1.50 for a large pouch, was very competitively priced. The sauce wasn't as thick as some of the high-street brands but once again... to me that is a good thing, it makes it that more natural. I enjoyed the sauce.

The soups cost around £1.90, side dishes from £1 and main courses cost £3.50 and all can be ordered online. They don't need to be kept in the fridge or freezer so they store well.
