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.

Clear allergen information

Made for real school mornings

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.

Ready for Monday morning?

For parents and carers — plan the week, then take the combined shopping list to the supermarket.
