Feed Picky Eaters Using Modular Meals

This system is about... Cook once. Everyone builds their own plate.

Almost every home cook has experienced having to cook for diners with different needs and it's really tiring. One person is vegetarian, one only eats beige food and another has decided they don't like chicken anymore.

You need a solution that gets those differences sorted out at the table by the diners and not by you while you're stood at the cooker. The Modular Meal System reduces your cooking time and gets everyone the meal they want.

Description

Modular Meals stops the search for the magical meal all your diners will eat straight from the kitchen to plate. It shows you how to make meals that come apart because that flexibility smooths over your diners' differences. You cook one shared base, put the toppings on the table, and let each person assemble what they can eat and what they like.

The gluten-free adult, the child who wants plain food and the one who eats anything all sit down to the same meal. Nobody's eating a different dinner. They're eating the same one, put together their own way.

Eight printable documents take you from naming what your table needs to planning a whole week of dinners that work for everyone. There's no order to follow. Start with the meal that causes the most standing at the hob.

What's inside

Start Here — the whole system on one page

Who's At Your Table — naming every need and finding the pressure points

Your Modular Formats — ten meals that come apart, and a fortnight of dinners from them

The Topping Shelf — five components that work across four different dinners

One Oven Two Trays — one method, two trays, every need met at once

The Cook's Own Night — the meal you'd choose if nobody else's needs came into it

Everyone Eats This — your whole-table wins, and permission to repeat them

Modular Week — a fillable sheet for planning formats, toppings and the cook's night

There are "adapt it" options for low energy, new cooks or no time, so the system still works on a bad week.

Every document comes twice: an A4 sheet to print, fill in with a pencil and stick on the fridge, and a mobile version.

The mobile checklists tick, and the grids and lists can be typed straight into.
