www.lunchboxesetc.co.uk - our favourite lunchbox site
Lunchboxes are close to my heart - I'm a devotee of sophisticated packed lunches for myself and the nursery that our boys attend 2 days a week does not provide food so we have to send them with 2 packed meals each day. Finding practical lunch boxes and lunchbags to accomodate all the stuff they need was a nightmare (especially if, like me, you weren't keen on huge logos or film tie-ins) so we started a little website where you can shop online for lunch boxes, lunchbags and all the stuff you need for an exciting packed lunch experience. Its grown a lot over its first 6 or so months and we keep trying to find new and useful as well as aesthetically pleasing items to stock so why not visit the site to have a look. I'm particularly pleased that we can offer completely plain plastic lunch boxes that are made in the UK from food grade plastic. They contain no PVC (which is banned from food containers in the US) and are big enough to fit sandwiches, a drink and piece of fruit with comfort. www.lunchboxesetc.co.uk is the home page of our little lunchbox website.
Kiddies Kitchen product information pages
I get asked a lot about detailed ingredients and allergy advice for specific products. I try and put as much information as I can on the site but the product descriptions get very lengthy if I put everything on there so we are trying a new approach: the kiddies kitchen product information pages. These will, I hope turn into a sort of library where you can find information not only about the products themselves but also the people behind them. First off, is a page with details of the extremely popular Ella's Kitchen baby food range (the ones in the squeezy pouches). All the ingredient information is up there with a quick shop feature allowing you to add a case of 7 pouches of any of the flavours to your shopping cart from that page rather than going to our shopping pages. the story behind this new company is also interesting so I'll try and put something up about Ella's Dad aswell....
Goodbye Battenburg?
I was interested to read in several newspapers that the Food Standards Agency was considereing whether to ban certain e-numbers from childrens food. Apparently there is increasing evidence to back up the long held common belief that certain foods can make a child go off like a rocket and, more seriously, that some enumbers can adversely affect hyperactivity disorders. Well, here at Kiddies Kitchen we are all for banning these unnecessary additives. Our organic baby foods and toddler meals are all produced without resorting to the "dirty dozen" additives (as Organix have christened them) and most have no added salt or sugar either. Just great organic ingredients carefully cooked to produce the best organic baby foods around. The only fly in the ointment I can see from the proposal was the worrying possibility that, if a ban were adopted, Angel Cake and Battenburg may have to disappear from the shelves at least temporarily whilst they figure out a more natural way to get those great colours....

Snack-traps and lids back in stock
Great news, we now have a large supply of Snack traps and stay fresh lids back in stock at the warehouse and on the shelves of our Tavistock shop. Many thanks to all those who have waited patiently for lids over the last coupke of weeks - you should all have them now or in the next day. Like most great ideas snack traps are dead simple but they work (at least my son's snack trap saves me crawling around on my knees hunting raisins and organix crisps every two minutes). You can buy a snack trap and stay fresh lid for the bargain price of £6.95 including P&P from Kiddies Kitchen the online organic baby food delivery service and general one stop shop for all things food and feeding related.
