'I tried Rick Stein's £100 luxury Christmas dinner box - one dish blew me away'
- Latest: The Waitrose-Dishpatch Rick Stein box offers two courses with chef-inspired seafood, priced around £105 for two.
- What’s inside: Lobster & King Prawn Velouté Pie and Classic Fish Soup, with nine finish-at-home dishes by top chefs.
- Ease of prep: The box keeps chopping and base work to a minimum, letting you finish dishes with little effort.
- Presentation: The pie arrives with its own ceramic dish, adding a special touch and reusable crockery.
- Taste verdict: The velouté pie is indulgent and pairs well with seafood, while the fish soup is flavorful but secondary to the pie.
- Portion concerns: The box serves four but is described as 'chef portions' rather than generous family servings.
- Best use: Suitable for foodies or smaller groups seeking a decadent, stress-free alternative to turkey.
- Value critique: While premium, the dinner box is not considered a value option for those on a budget.
- Delivery deadline: Final orders needed by December 16 for Christmas delivery.
- Overall takeaway: The kit offers a hassle-free, luxe alternative for the holiday table, with strong flavors but high price.
