Fantastic June 21, 2005

Great recipes that children (and adults) will love. Great narrative on how she instigated change in her school and went on to be incredibly influential in the school dinners debate. I hope Local Authority managers in charge of school meals read this book and are ashamed of themselves. Don't you think the words `Dame Jeanette Orrey' have a certain ring to them? ...

At last, the book I have been waiting for for years. Essentially because it is packed full of great "all in one" recipes for children - which will also feed the whole family. Toad in the Hole, Moussaka (with potatoes, not aubergine), pasta with meatballs, fish pie, fishcakes, apple crumble, marbled sponge pudding - it will keep me going for months. But it is not just a recipe book. I would say this is essential reading for anyone who is involved in trying to change their school dinners. About 2/5 of the book is prose, with some food/nutrition facts, but much about how she instigated change in her own school, including how they incorporated food education into the curriculum for the various age groups.
If you are cooking for your children - fab book. If you are trying, in any capacity, to bring about change in a school kitchen - absolutely essential, and here are all the recipes for 96 I suspect you will ever need!

As a sister Dinner Lady and cook for a small primary school in Essex, I found myself in the same boat as Jeanette last year. One year on and this book has confirmed that we have done the right thing and given me numerous ideas to forge ahead. The recipes are excellent and are given for 4 or 96 (school quantities). I try them out at home on my family and if it gets the thumbs up it goes on the school's menu. This is the lady who first alerted Jamie Oliver to the state of the nation's school dinners!Truly an excellent read and a most inspirational book.

i've always tried to eat healthly but after watching jamie olivers programme i decided to push myself futher - especially with the kids. so i brought "The dinner lady". Full of information and some really nice and easy to cook reciepes.
Do try the Lemon chicken- so much nicer than buying the packet lemon sauces.
My daughter has started to love to cook with me now too.
Another book for the more adventourous is Mary Berrys Complete Cook Book - they look fancy but VERY easy to follow - TRY IT
