Annabel Karmel has launched a collection of bite-sized recipe books in association with Sainsburys. Specifically for busy families, this series of handy recipe books are designed to inspire parents on the supermarket run.
These recipe books fit in your handbag so you don’t even need to write down what ingredients you might need. You can just take the book with you. Browsing in the supermarket is definitely not something you want to be doing – especially if you have young children with you!
Mum-of-three Annabel Karmel MBE says: “When it comes to cooking for kids, our research tells us that busy 
parents don’t have time to spend hours flicking through cook books, following complicated recipes and lengthy cooking times. The reality is that they want tasty, well-balanced food ideas that they can rustle up in quick time.”
There are 10 easy-to-follow recipe books in the series which cover a wide range of food milestones from First Foods and Exploring New Tastes, to Lunchboxes and Vegetarian Meals. Each book contains more than 50 delicious, time-saving ideas using nutritional ingredients you’d find in the kitchen cupboard.
The Lunchboxes book provides guidance on what to include in a healthy lunchbox and how to get your child 
involved. It offers quick, easy and healthy ideas to make lunchtime fun whether sandwiches, salads, savouries or treats. Our favourites include Bow-tie Pasta Salad with Chicken, Humous, Carrot & Cheese sandwiches and Jamaican banana muffins.
Kids in the Kitchen focuses on creative recipe ideas that enable you to bake together. All the recipes have been created with little ones in mind so they’re quick, simple and easy-to-follow. This book covers everything from snacks, vegetarian, fish, chicken and meat to sweet treats and special occasions.
Breaded Animals, a Bagel Snake and Mice in Jackets are just a few of the ideas on offer. With Halloween fast 
approaching we have our eye on the Chocolate-orange Spider Cupcakes. Or the Goulish Ghost Cakes. Our toddler will absolutely adore those!
Annabel Karmel’s Favourites (RRP £4.99) are available in Sainsbury’s stores. You can see the full range of books on the Annabel Karmel website.
