As an uber foodie (with a professional foodie mum) I have to agree with Tom that Nigel Slater is the man to go for. Not only do his recipes work consistently (unlike Nigella's, which all need tweaking), but he also writes beautifully about food.
But I digress. Risotto Pronto by Gallo (or Risotto Gallo by Pronto, I can't remember) is sold in Sainsbury's with the rest of the rice, and cooks in 12 minutes. The four cheese one tastes gorgeous, but smells foul when it cooks, and the wild mushroom one is lovely. And non-pungent! And the boxes keep for months.
My other speedy tip is soup. Filling, quick, and good for you! Especially Covent Garden Soup Company. *drool*
