Feed Me Better - School Dinners Pack (pdf)
UK (naked) chef, Jamie Oliver, was upset by the unhealthy junk food that was served in school cafeterias. Spurred on by new school food standards, Jamie researched, he experimented and he did some shows about it. Jamie also came up with some solutions, that is, menu plans. Today's link is essentially a free cookbook of healthy, inexpensive, easy-to-prepare meals that are scalable for groups of different sizes. Hmmm... a free Naked Chef cookbook. Interesting.
Sure, some of the recipes are better than others. I think I'd enjoy the Chicken Tikka Massala and the Slow-Cooked Balsamic Beef more than the Sausages and Mashed, but this is a really great resource! Imagine if you had to cook for a large group of wonderful people at a camp, a retreat, a big family dinner or even a school, I'm sure this recipe book could be an excellent resource.
