Dragons' Den Kandy Kitchen Creations: Prices and reviews for slimming soups and dessert recipe packs

Kandy Kitchen Creations featured in a pitch on tonight's (Thursday, January 20) episode of Dragons Den on BBC One at 8pm.

The show has budding entrepreneurs walk into the Dragons Den with three minutes to pitch their product and business to five multimillionaire dragons. Deborah Meaden, Sara Davies, Peter Jones, Touker Suleyman and new dragon Steven Bartlett hear out the pitches that come to the show whilst being willing to invest their own cash into the dreams of others.

Kandy Kitchen Creations is one dream that may be promising, as a down-to-earth running business already. The Rochdale-based group has had glowing reviews on Facebook being called a "friendly service" with "delicious" and "fuss free" products that are a "lifesaver".

What are Kandy Kitchen Creations meals?

The Kandy Kitchen Creations include the ingredients to make soups, stew, risottos and puddings.

All the ingredients needed for a recipe come in a tall and thin clear bag tied at the top with a ribbon. They are then turned into "natural, hearty and tasty" family meals just by emptying them into a pan or slow cooker, adding water and meat if you want to and then cooking.

They come in gluten free and vegan options and are slimming club friendly.

How do Kandy Kitchen Creations work?

The idea came about in summer 2017, when the creators, Andy and Karen Turner were staying with their friends in Canada.

They noticed a lot of homegrown products and local produce from the rural farming community were regularly sold at craft fairs and markets, which they hadn't seen in the UK.

From then on, the creators of Kandy Kitchen Creations were inspired to source their own natural ingredients and combine them into an easy form of packaging that looks attractive to customers and that is easy to make into recipes.

All the natural ingredients for a starter, main, or dessert come pre-measured and each package serves four.

How much do Kandy Kitchen Creations meals cost?

Soups from the range cost £5 a packet. The range includes beef and tomato soup, thai coconut soup and scotch broth.

The 'souper six' gift box with six packets costs £27.50.

The risottos and stews are also priced at £5, with Cawl Welsh lamb stew, paella and Italian pine nut risotto options.

Puddings also cost £5 each with a biscoff rocky road bag, chocolate orange brownies, coconut crunch and Lakeland ginger shortbread options.

A 'pudding heaven' giftbox of five packets costs £22.50 and you can choose which desserts you wish to include in your box.

Kandy Kitten Creations reviews

The product has just 39 reviews on it's Facebook page but all are five star with customers praising the food.

One customer said: "Friendly service and great products ! The risottos are a lifesaver when you’ve had a long day and need something fuss free and very tasty . Tomato and red pepper is my favourite with some Parmesan sprinkled on top."

Another raved: "We bought our box of four towards the end of last year and have only just got round to using them but oh my god they are delicious! So simple! So yummy!
