From Jamie Oliver's favourite dinner lady, Nora Sands, this recipe book is all you need to make some great healthy meals that are fun too. Each recipe includes an ingredients list, a child-friendly method and a 'Top Tip'. There is a contents page on page 1, plus a glossary and index on pages 20 and 21.

This is a Band 05/Green book in the Collins Big Cat reading programme which offers early readers patterned language and varied characters. This is an instruction text with a cafe menu on page 22 and opening hours on page 23 which encourage children to discuss recipes and healthy food they enjoy and would like in their own cafe. This story supports science learning about life processes and living things, as well as humans and other animals. It also promotes knowledge that eating the right types of food help keep humans healthy. This book has been levelled for Reading Recovery.
