A free tool from Chef Sally
Five complete lunchboxes. One simple plan.
Plan a practical week of school lunches without starting from scratch every morning. Each day includes a main item, fruit or vegetables, something extra and a drink, with one combined shopping list for the week.
Choose an age range and any allergens to exclude, then make a fresh week whenever you need one from our small, clearly labelled recipe collection.

Use ingredients across the week
Choose recipes and simple extras that make sensible use of the same packs and ingredients.
Clear allergen information

Made for real school mornings

The 14 UK allergens, clearly recorded
Select the allergens to exclude and recipes carrying those tags are left out of your plan, swaps and recipe results.
Recipes are filtered using the allergen information recorded for their ingredients. Product recipes, labels and “may contain” warnings can change, and this tool cannot assess cross-contamination. Always check every product label and follow the advice given by your child’s healthcare professional.
Simple fruit and vegetable suggestions are not checked against allergies outside the 14 UK allergens. Prepare all items appropriately for your child.
