The cool lunchbox

This book is for parents who are concerned about providing nutritious snacks that their children will actually eat.

Generally, children are not interested in the activity of eating and nutrition.

For most, eating is not a social occasion but rather something that needs to happen quickly and efficiently so that more time can be devoted to playing.

So, the lunchbox must be designed to have visual appeal, contain non-fussy food that will hold up to several repeat visits during the day, and be nutritious.

This book is not aimed solely at childen but also at anyone who needs ideas on what to include in a lunchbox - the businessman or woman, those with high cholesterol, the wheat or lactose intolerant, the sportsperson, the overweight.

Included are over 30 different lunchbox menus that will have universal appeal, each identified with symbols to denote suitability for vegetarians, those with allergies and so on.

This is not a cookbook but rather a book of ideas on how to put together delicious, nutritious snacks for school or office.
