We'd recommend this book for any organisation working with families creating food parcels, doing community cooking or looking to provide families not just with food but with ideas for sustainable, cheap and NUTRITIOUS family meals. We will definitely be using some of the recipes with families that participate in our programmes.

Love the meal planners!

Lisa Meenan

The tips suggested in this publication are practical and easy to implement. They’ve already begun to make a difference to the way I shop and the types of meals I eat. I also love the meal planners, info gathering, action plan and shopping checklist. I've printed them out and put them to use. Such a simple but​ fantastic idea!

Meal planning and specifying what you want to achieve

Sharon

The meal planning chapter is so helpful.....tips like specifying what you wanted to achieve, having a way to measure your success and making it achievable were really good points and then the suggestion of keeping a dedicated note book.
