Online Mac & Cheese Main Meals

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Lyo offer meals using natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They stand out from the crowd with unique recipes, the use of chunky ingredients that result in more natural, home style meals. 

LYO says: 

This is our take on classic Mac & Cheese. We accompanied English Cheddar with Italian Pecorino Romano and Swiss Gruyère is a real meet-free feast for all cheese sauces lovers. The creamy texture and interpenetrating flavors of cheeses are complemented by wheat noodles.

3. Add 240 ml of hot, boiled water – fill line № 1 (see inside)
4. Stir thoroughly

Our Verdict

LYO have tried to take a different route with their meals focussing on natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They proudly cultivate some of the fruits and herbs on their own fields. Other fruits and herbs as well as vegetables come from farmers known to them personally. All ingredients are carefully verified to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.

The majority of the meals use interesting combinations of natural ingredients with chunky vegetables, authentic flavours and more of a home cooked approach. We’ve been lucky enough to test a variety of them and have always been impressed with the end results. Generally, we appreciated the good combinations of flavour, texture and portion size.

The fill line for adding water to the packs is novel with a blue area from the bottom showing how much water is required. It is quite a subtle design feature that can be easy to miss and some form of internal indicator would be best but it still works.
