Annabel Karmel launches handbag-sized recipe books
Annabel Karmel’s new recipe books are designed to inspire busy parents on-the-go with quick and easy food ideas
We all have our favourite go-to recipes we can knock up in a hurry, whether it’s a good old spag bol or chicken and veg.
But coming up with fresh new ideas day-in, day-out for weaning foods, family meals and lunchboxes can be tough. Plus there's no time for a leisurely browse in the supermarket with a toddler in tow!
A new range of 10 handbag-sized recipe books from children’s food expert Annabel Karmel promises to change that. Interesting
Available exclusively from Sainsbury's, each offers tasty recipe ideas on different topics and for a variety of ages. These include starting to wean, finger foods, toddler meals for toddlers and fun recipes your little helper to get involved with.
The books are currently on special 2-for-1 offer - so you can buy 2 books for £4.99.

Plus, because they're handbag-sized, they're easy to pop in your bag when you go to the supermarket.
“The reality is that parents want tasty, well-balanced food ideas that they can rustle up in quick time, so they can spend what precious free time they have with their family," says Annabel. "A quarter of mums worry that the food they are giving their children isn’t enjoyed by their children, so my books are there to make life easier – and tastier.”
