The Family Meal Solution

A flexible and achievable approach to feeding your family each week, from One Handed Cooks




Discover a new way to feed everyone that’s designed for real, busy family lives.

Wouldn’t it be amazing to feel organised and inspired about the week’s meals?


Imagine a world where you're confident that family members big and small are getting the nourishment they need every day — all while not breaking the bank.

Meet The One Handed Cooks: Your Culinary Saviours!

In their new meal-planning guide, Allie, Jess and Sarah share the thoroughly tested system and recipes that keep them feeling in control in their own busy lives and kitchens.

There are 85 recipes, including six chapters dedicated to time-efficient dinners—with snacks, salads, and desserts covered, too.

What's Inside? Here's What You'll Get:


*Time-Saving Meal Plans: From slow-cooking to quick fixes
*Versatile Dishes: Meals that can be served in multiple ways
*Family Favourites: Dinner winners and delicious desserts
*Effortless Prep: From premixes to make-in-a-minute marinades
*Healthy Choices: Snacks and salads that satisfy
*Practical Tips: Making the most of leftovers and batch cooking
*Expert Advice: Behavioural and nutritional guidance
*Allergy-Friendly: Ingredient swaps for common allergies


A Flexible & Time-Efficient Approach

This is a system that's built on flexibility and the clever use of short pockets of time. Say goodbye to radical overhauls, strict meal plans, and hours of meal prepping every Sunday when you'd rather be doing anything else.

Not Just Recipes — But Life Skills!

Try these incremental and sustainable habit changes, and you'll notice a big difference. The secrets lie in making the most of the freezer and slow cooker, prepping multiple meals during your time in the kitchen, being clever with leftovers, and embracing fast meals.

BONUS: Expert Nutritional Advice

And it wouldn't be a One Handed Cooks cookbook without their brilliant behavioural and nutritional advice to help you navigate your kids' developmental challenges around food, and the ingredient swaps to cater to all the common allergies and intolerances.

That's the meals for this week sorted — and the rest!
