The top 10 vegetarian ready-meals

Waitrose Roast Vegetable Risotto

A real winner with a creamy taste but a light touch. Roasted courgettes, onions, aubergine and peppers give this risotto its bite; and it is easy to identify the taste of each vegetable - some ready risottos really do come out as just a big mysterious sloppy mess. If this was served up as a pub lunch you'd have thought it was whipped up on the premises.
