The Master Cook meal kits range has been expanded by Empire Bespoke Foods as a series of heat-and-eat products that target increasing consumer interest in pan-Asian cuisine.
The products put a vegetarian-friendly recipe in focus with three options to choose from including Delhi Dal Makhani, Northern Tarka Dal and Punjabi Chana Masala. Each meal kit is made with no artificial flavorings or colorings and is ready to eat in five-minutes. The brand's product line also includes the new Gochujang Paste and Gochujang Ketchup, which each give a nod to Korean cuisine. All of the new products tap into the popularity of fakeaway meals and restaurant-inspired recipes as consumers seek to enjoy their takeout favorites from home for less.
The new additions to the Master Cook meal kits range and the Korean condiments are arriving now in the UK priced between £2.09 and £2.50.
