Remember how simple school lunches used to be? You'd have something from every major food group and run around the playground for awhile, most of us looking and feeling fine. But, today, it's not so simple.

Chef Ann Cooper has emerged as one of the nation's most influential and most respected advocates for changing how our kids eat. In fact, she is somewhat of a renegade lunch lady. Sans the hair net and ice-cream scooper of mashed potatoes, she has worked to transform cafeterias into culinary classrooms for students. In LUNCH LESSONS, Ann Cooper and Lisa Holmes spell out how parents and school employees can help instill healthy habits in children. Their delicious, kid-friendly, and healthy recipes include Broccoli Pesto, Shrimp Stir-Fry and Vegetable Lomein.
