Take one brown paper bag, place inside a recipe and all the ingredients to make a family meal, and you have a winning idea. Flatpack meals, as the bags were initially called, have proved a hit with children and families attending Chesters Nursery School, in Drumchapel, Glasgow, where they were introduced two years ago as a way of helping families improve their diet.
Bags arrive at the nursery at the end of each week, and include one which makes a soup, usually priced at around £1.50, and a main meal bag, priced between £1.80 and £2. The ingredients for each can feed a family of four but could easily stretch to six. All the recipes are vegetarian, extremely tasty and very straightforward to make.
