It’s back to school season, and this month our attention is on child-friendly recipes, and refreshing ways to make packed lunches and after-school suppers exciting, tasty and nutritious. There’s a selection of great, easy-to-make dishes inside – these recipes, from a big-batch soup to a veg-packed wrap, make equally good lunches and dinners for kids, and they’re also kind to your bank balance. Research shows that children who are educated about food and who are involved in the meal prep process, are far more likely to take interest in the produce they put into their bodies. So, why not invite your kids to help prepare their lunchbox – we have some great tips and meal ideas from Kcal’s director of nutrition, Lauren Jacobson, plus exciting ways to introduce new ingredients into your child’s diet.
As routines restore, transport your mind to making new holiday plans. This month, we discover Cuba on a budget – fresh lobster, perfectly grilled steak and piña coladas included. Plus, we journey to Phuket Thailand to experience the area’s newest wellness resort. All this, plus much more!
