Luka and the Boob to Food team
Tips, recipes and hope for the never-ending grind.
Description
Packing lunchboxes can feel never-ending, and we know firsthand how stressful it becomes when food keeps coming home untouched. The School of Lunchboxes is a 175-page eBook created by mums (who have been packing lunchboxes for eight years straight and counting), a Dietitian and a Paediatric Occupational Therapist to help make this daily task feel calmer and far more doable.
Making lunchboxes simpler, one tiny compartment at a time.
Inside you’ll find 25 nut-free main recipes, 30 snack ideas, a simple lunchbox formula, a 10-week meal plan, supermarket swaps, Crunch & Sip inspiration, sensory-friendly tips, morning shortcuts and freezer hacks. Designed for daycare through to high school, this eBook gives you practical ideas that actually work – in real homes with real kids.
If you’re tired of packing the same things on repeat or feeling frustrated when food comes home uneaten, this supportive guide will help take the pressure off and bring a bit of ease back into your mornings.

Why We Wrote This Book
Because we’re parents too – juggling the same mornings, the same overwhelm, the same hopeful moment of unzipping a lunchbox at 3pm.
- We know how draining it feels when nothing gets eaten.
- We know how repetitive lunchboxes can feel.
- We know how hard it is to think clearly when the morning rush is already in full swing.
And we also know how different it feels when you have a little structure, some recipes you trust, and ideas that don’t require superhuman effort.
We wrote this for mums and dads who want to nourish their kids without the pressure. For families who want simple, whole-food ideas that fit into real life. For parents who want lunchbox packing to feel manageable again – maybe even enjoyable.
Take a peek at the recipes
10 years of lunchbox experience (thats over 3000 lunchboxes!)
We’ve spent a decade packing lunchboxes for our own kids — over 3000 lunches tested, tweaked and survived — so we know exactly what actually gets eaten, what comes home untouched, and what helps mornings run smoother. Add in the expertise of a Dietitian and Paediatric Occupational Therapist, and you get a guide that’s not just mum-tested but professionally informed. We’ve been in the trenches, we understand the pressure, and we’ve created this eBook to share the practical, realistic strategies that truly work in real homes with real kids.
