Yes, I'm out on a limb with this recipe. Putting fish in a lunchbox is a little dicey - there's always the risk that by lunchtime the fish smell will be overpowering not only your child but everyone else as well. Noone wants their kid to be in fishy exile for all of lunchtime! Having said that, it's not the first time I've developed a fish recipe for the lunchbox. You may remember my Tuna and … [Read more...]

I don't know about your kids, but mine have always protested loudly at being served curries. I've long considered it an inconvenience. I love Indian curries. They're just fantastic at home, in a restaurant, or for a sneaky takeaway meal. And because they're so often gluten-free, they would be the perfect solution to the challenges of eating out. You know, after giving the wait staff the third … [Read more...]
