Taste test comments View more details.

A summary of comments from our panel of taste testers.

Needs seasoning; the green vegetables taste surprisingly fresh but the sweet potato didn't hold up so well; the sauce lends the chicken a bit of taste; sauce is separate but not much of it; looks fresh with vibrant colours, smells of peas, pea texture is great, chicken is not dry but seasoning is needed; pesto is a bit acidic and sweet; flavour missed the mark but otherwise quite fresh; pesto is too sweet, no seasoning, lacks flavour, peas look wrinkly and overcooked.
