Back to basics cooking for kids cook book

[lexcat]

Seem to cook the same things over and over for dd. School dinner has got her trying lots of new food. Now need to do the same at home.
Not a cook so want a book with quick easy basic childrens food.
Any one got a book like this or know of such book please help.
Oh yes if the meals freeze well even better

What do you mean by "children's food"?

Do you mean food children can cook or food to cook for children; as, if it's the latter, I never make something just for the dcs; it's family food all round here I'm afraid!
I've got some brilliant cookbooks for dcs though!

Jamies Dinners?

the dinner lady is supposed to be good too

food to cook for children for possible family eating

In terms of feeding the family I dip into Jamie's dinners, Annabel Karmel's "After school Meal Planner" and Ainsley Harriot's "Meals in minutes". I also quite like Nigella's How to Eat. It depends on what recipes you already have to hand. AK's meal planner includes recipes for shepherd's pie, lasagne, pasta with tomato sauce/cheese sauce etc, so is fiarly basic. But if you have those covered then Jamie or Ainsley would be more interesting.

Thanks the 'dinner lady' look like just what I'm looking for. Any other book like that please let me know.

There's a good Hugh Fearnley wotsit book as well which I got out of the library and thought was excellent. Will try to do a link.

agree with all the other suggestions, but if you're not a great cook, would always suggest Delia Smith's complete cookery course. Lots of good, basic, old fashioned recipes, plus some more fancy ones for when you get adventurous. I have 2 big shelves of cookbooks, and if I could only keep one, that would be it. How about borrowing books from the library first, if you have a well=stocked one near you?

The Dinner Lady by Jeanette Orrey.

Absolutely fantastic. Fabulous recipes using ingredients that you are likely to have lurking in your fridge and cupboard.

Cant recommend it highly enough.

The River Cottage Family cookbkook. Don't worry you don't have to catch and then slaughter the animals first!
