About Lunchbox World
About Me:
Hi I’m Caroline, the “Lunchbox Lady” behind Lunchbox World!
With a background in consumer marketing and a love and passion for food, the Lunchbox World website started out as an idea in 2008, actually more a “gap in the market” idea. With 3 kids, and no option of school lunch provided at school, I was duty bound to provide packed lunches for the brood. I just had to get stuck in, create daily lunch boxes, sometimes FIVE of them, that were exciting and tasty enough to make them actually eat!I was on a search for a washable lunch bag and in my search, found there were not many people talking “lunch box” (or so I thought at the time! Look across at the USA if you want to be inundated by the scope of lunch boxes and truly art creations!)
I had that eureka moment. “How about Lunchbox World?” How about creating a website that has everything to do with lunch boxes, from the food you eat, to tips, hints, recipe ideas, to the kit you buy to carry your lunch in. And so Lunchbox World was born in Spring 2009!
I operated an e-commerce shop for 5 years (2009-2014) but decided to discontinue it, in order to concentrate and focus on my true passion – sharing great food art ideas, lunch box recipe ideas and creative inspiration for all ages. I have recipes for school aged kids, for students, for teens, for adults taking lunch to work. So many lunch box ideas for all ages.
The Lunchbox World site is evolving to stay true to its original dream – to be the one stop e-magazine style website, all about lunches, from the food you eat to the kit you use.
It’s packed with lunch box ideas, a recipe section, reviews, hints and tips, fun lunch boxes for kids, working lunch ideas for adults – sprinkled throughout with lots of cooking, baking and foodie fun. We also cover basic nutrition, the importance of hydration, healthy eating and then share all the fun bits: days out, eating out, family fun and the not-so-fun bits – teen parenting tips…
New for Autumn 2016 is a quick, easy student recipe series, (am now paranoid that our oldest, Tuna isn’t eating properly, now she’s at Uni …) although the lunch ideas can be eaten by anyone, as they are quick and easy to prepare.
I hope you love what you read, that you’ll follow us and keep coming back for more. Feel free to encourage other lunch-packers to come and connect and share the lunch box love!
