While many of us are getting to grips with healthy home cooking, we still succumb to the same old lunchtime combination of sandwiches, crisps and yoghurt when we are out, at work or packing a child's lunchbox. For the small price we pay for convenience food, we pay a far larger price in our future health. One way to be in control of what's in our food is to prepare it ourselves. That's where this book comes in. Jenny Tschiesche's Real Lunchtime Food is the perfect guide for working adults and parents who want healthier and more inspiring meals than the traditional packed lunch we have come to expect. It contains deliciously simple recipes and practical nutritional information and advice that will put you back in control of your lunch. Also included are tips on how to shop smart, how to make use of leftovers, as well as tips on environmentally-friendly packaging solutions to help you transport your lunch to work or school. This is not a book about stale sandwiches and soggy salads.

It is about a healthier, achievable lifestyle. Real Lunchtime Food is about stocking the store cupboard with good quality, readily available foods, having some basic equipment available, being empowered to take control of your family's daily food and involving them in making their own health choices. Lunchtime is an opportunity to enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal. This book will make that a possibility on a daily basis. Jenny is the founder of LunchboxDoctor.com.
