The potential for this category is huge this year with the retail sector seeing a growing demand for premium meal solutions as consumers seek to recreate the dining out experiences at home.

From weekday staples to weekend suppers, from traditional favourites to Indian curries, from meat and fish based meals to vegetarian and vegan alternatives; the category is broad but the need entries are meeting is simple – a convenient meal solution that can be popped straight into the microwave or oven to be ready for the latest TV drama snuggles on the sofa, or enjoying around the table with friends and a good bottle of wine.

This year ready made pizzas should also be entered in this category.
