Wow. I'd been past Cook before, and not had an opportunity to stop by, but man. I so wish I had all…read morethose months ago. Let me let you in on a wee secret. Do you get too busy and tired to cook? Does packing in fresh veg become a strain? Are you sick of getting a take away, because at the end of the day it's easier than cooking? Have you lost the will to find new recipes to learn? Here's the secret: visit Cook. Basically, they're like the microwaveable meal kings. And, that sounds like a slight -but it's not. What: Home cooked, freshly frozen, deliciously healthy, wonderfully diverse meals. Frozen in a little microwavable/oven cook tray for you to bob in and eat. Honestly, I was so overly impressed with what they had to offer. The chap in the shop was, for starters, an absolute star. He introduced me to the ideals behind the franchise, and where it came from, talked me through all of the products on offer and we basically ended up having a lovely natter. There are huge packed fridges, filled to the brim with delicious meals, in a range of sizes and cuisines. Everything from Thai red curry, to chilli con carne, to Indian dishes and some other items that were so exotic I've forgotten what they're even called. It really is a place of solution, especially if you're often tired and end up relying on substandard ready meals. They've also a range of desserts, drinks and other such edibles to browse, so I ended up grabbing a Thai curry, chilli and banoffee pie. I've had the chilli and it was just epic. The flavours were fantastic, and went perfectly with the veggie rice, and all for 5 minutes of microwave time. Of course, the washing up was cut down dramatically, so I almost felt a little lost after eating as there was so little to do. The prices are reasonable, perhaps not for a complete eating solution compared to home cooking, but certainly for when you're in a pinch and don't want to eat crud baked in oil, that's been greased up a little. Basically, I've not known such excellent customer service from the wonderful chap in the shop, and never known anything that I've put in a microwave taste edible, let alone that gourmet. You really should get down there and see what's cookin'. And on that note, I'm off to eat my dessert. Sucks to be you - you don't have Banoffee goodness!

I adore their Moo Goo Guy Pan (mixed vegetables and chicken) and my partner adores both their duck meals and their Char Sui Foo Yung. The gravy that you can have as an extra is just right not too bland and not too spicy. The prawn crackers are always fresh, and stay crispy until at least the next afternoon (good to have as breakfast the next day). Their sweet and sour balls are fried to perfection making them not too greasy, with a light and crunchy batter. Ooh my mouth is drooling- I want to have a Chinese now! I can honestly say that if you want high quality food, service with a smile and a comfortably full belly you won't be dissapointed.

A shame, because it's one of the best takeaways in the city. Pizza, pasta bakes and chicken and chips, all available for under £3, with free delivery on orders over £5. Friendly guy on the phone. Delivered within quoted time. Their pizzas have a pretty thin base and the selection isn't huge, but the dough and tomato sauce is excellent, and consequently the whole thing tastes a lot fresher and a lot more home-made than the stodge-fests you normally get locally. Obviously, you can build your own if you're super picky. Likewise with their customisable pasta bakes, which may seem an odd choice for a takeaway to offer, but they're ideal for when you want something half normal but you just don't want to cook it yourself. Potato wedges for £1.50 too... next level root vegetable manoeuvre! Being inside an off licence means they can take your booze order on the same call, which is handy, and they regularly have competitive offers on. The only downside is that with no online menu you're stuck asking for it to be dictated to you down the phone the first time you ring. They've gone to the trouble of posting camp videos of someone in a giant cartoon head on youtube so hopefully a useful web presence will follow. They shut pretty early in the week but 1am close on Friday and Sat nights.

I tried a 7 inch goats cheese and veg small pizza which was a great starter along with wedges and wings. The BBQ wings were tastier than those at a few specialised Wing places in Manchester! Very affordable for what you get, and all the girls were happy and full after we indulged in the whole lot. Now I'm at the gym running it all off .... 5 star pizza takeaway place!

A charming little shop, it is packed to…read morethe rafters with whole Italian sausages hung from the ceiling, beautifully presented pasta and oils, chutneys and jams. Priding themselves on creating a Spanish-style delicatessen, Salt's have gone to great lengths to import an intriguing selection of hams and cheeses. This provides wonderful variety, but Salt's clearly understands the importance of locality with regards to their ingredients. Their sandwiches and salads are made using Yorkshire outdoor reared dry-cured ham and sausage, cheese from the Hawes creamery and various chutneys from the Ripon based Elizabeth Smedley range. Salt's came to my rescue recently by solving the problem of what to buy a couple for a Golden Anniversary gift. Their Spanish Hamper (£64.75) was a huge success - apparently the fig bon bons and partridge pate were the stand-out items. The price definitely makes it a special occasion gift, but the presentation and quality of the products are exceptional. A fantastic range of hot specials are available daily, a recent favourite was a deliciously succulent chicken and chorizo stew with vegetable couscous (£5.95 for an extremely generous portion). The local sourcing of ingredients and the involvement that Salt's has in the local farmer's markets, give this business a positive community feel, worthy of support.

My plan was to create hampers for my dearest and I needed the final few items - I wanted a mixture of food, drink and non-edible gift items and I'd sorted most of these at a variety of places but for the finishing touches! Having been advised that Salt's was *the* place to go for hamper-type goodness I wasn't disappointed. The arrangement of the shop is delightful to begin, as you wander through the door you're greeted by a veritable cornucopia of goodies. It's filled to burst with meats, cheese, chocolates, pickles, pate, chutneys and more. Can I say "yum"? Whilst the lunch time offerings come at a hefty price I can only imagine the delights one might experience in consuming some divine looking goods! Now to the hampers. The friendly lady asked me if I needed a hand and I explained that I was compiling my own hampers, but I needed the baskets and a few more final treats. She was only too happy to help me, in spite of the fact that they had their own ready made hampers (which looked fantastic!) and readied two baskets whilst I picked up a few extras. I opted for some of their specialist chocolate, the sea salt and rose varieties I can personally recommend having sampled it after Christmas, a few of their pates and some other added extras. Everything went down brilliantly and my folks couldn't be happier with their selections. As an extra bonus the lady even allowed me to take some of her cellophane wrapping to finish off the presentation, which was extremely kind and at no extra cost! A truly delightful deli with a hoard of specialist delights - worth every penny!
