Book excerpt: 'Some fantastic tips for those who have got stuck in a lunchbox rut and need genuinely inspiring, healthy recipe ideas' - Amelia Freer, nutritional therapist and bestselling author Are you tired of the same old sandwich, crisps and yoghurt combination? Do you struggle to find time for meal prep? Concerned that you and your family aren't eating a healthy, nutritious lunch? 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.

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.
