5.0 out of 5 stars The Dinner Lady, 1 April 2005
By A Customer
Fantastic, yummy recipes which are easy to use. No fancy ingredients that are costly/or take ages to prepare. Have tried 5 so far and they have gone down a treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 7 April 2005
By A Customer
This is a super cookbook and not just for children. The quick and easy recipes promote healthy eating for everyone. Apart from the recipes there are some lovely illustrations done by the children from the school and some great photos of the kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last a book where the ingredients don't cost a fortune!!, 13 Nov 2006
This book is far and away the greatest book for those who are trying to manage a family budget but still want their family to eat healthily.I've been bought so many "cook" books in the past only to find that when I'm in the supermarket the combined price of ingredients that I may use only once makes the meal bad value and makes me reach for the easier and cheaper ready prepared option.These recipes are just what I've been looking for.Simple,clear,healthy and tasty and more importantly....Easy!! I'm no cook but this book has inspired me to think about my food and try lots of things from scratch.Jeanette is an inspiration to us all.
