The Healthy Lunchbox

I bought this because my daughter's due to start school in September and I wanted ideas to make her lunches less boring. This did give some useful recipes and some good ideas but it wasn't as good as I had been hoping to be honest. She divides the book up into "types" of lunch and some I found a bit silly - eg the "green" lunchbox she advised using a Fairtrade banana or cereal bar - like we wouldn't have thought of that! Her style is a lot less patronising than Annabel Karmel though and she doesn't expect you to cook all hours to create the lunchbox; I do think it is the sort of book that can be useful for all ages of child. I think maybe I expected too much and maybe lunches can never be that exciting.....!

I was pleased to find this book as I'd had a had a copy before. i love the "sneaky" fish spread as my son is quite picky when it comes to food and it's a struggle getting him to eat anything nutritious. I'ts ideal for varying boring adult lunch-boxes too. Most of the ingredients are things I would normally have on my shopping list ad many of the recipes aer suitable for freezing.

Second hand book but in excellent condition. Not bursting with info but well worth the money I paid for it.
