One sachet is enough to infuse 500g of chicken (or your choice of meat and veggies) to give you and your family a PERi-fect meal in 3 Easy Steps!
1. Simply add your choice of meat or veggies (or both!) to the cooking bag.
2. Sprinkle in the PERi-PERi spice. Fold the bag along the edge and give it a gentle shake.
3. Lay it flat on a baking tray, making sure that none of your meat is lying on top of each other, then pop it in the oven for 30 minutes. It’s as easy as that! After 30 minutes, remove from the oven, tear the bag and revel in the masterpiece which you’ve created.

I really love the lemon & herb bag & bake by Nando’s. My husband and I both enjoyed the chicken I cooked in it and we are excited to make it again, I actually have another one ready to go.
I enjoyed the burgers we made so much that I am tempted to just do the same again, but this would also be really good with rice or salad. There are so many great options to use this product.
I personally thought it was amazing in homemade rolls with lettuce, tomato and cheese.
We will happily keep making this one. It is super easy, convenient, delicious and versatile.

Bursting flavours of herbs and spices. I love how fresh the chicken tasted. I like that I can use Nandos bag and bake with fish and other meats. The meat was really tender and was marinated beautiful, this will definitely be added to my regular Woolworths shop.

It was surprisingly delicious. It will end up being a regular in our house. With fussy children and husband it was something that everyone loved. I enjoyed both flavours but preferred the lemon flavour. I liked how it made it into an easy dinner and something I know my family will eat

The Nando’s Peri Peri Bag & Bake Medium was very tasty! It was spicy to the point that it made my lips quite tingly, but it tasted so good that I didn’t want to stop eating it. My husband loves spicy food so he was very happy to have the medium one.
This is a convenient, quick and easy meal that is also versatile. It doesn’t make a mess of the tray or oven so it is really fast to tidy up once dinner is ready.
I made burgers with our chicken but it would also be fantastic with rice or salad (or many other ways!)
The instructions are simple, the meal is delicious and we were very happy.

Nando’s Peri Peri Lemon & Herb is so delicious!
I put 500g chicken in the bag, added the spice sachet, gave it a little shake and put it in the oven for 30 minutes. The chicken came out perfectly cooked and tasted absolutely delicious.
The best things about this meal are: easy, convenient, quick, full of flavour and versatile.
I would happily serve this chicken again. If my fussy children had been willing to try it, I am sure they would have enjoyed it too. I didn’t push too hard though because I wanted the leftovers. Haha.
I recommended this product and I will happily purchase again. 🙂

I was prepared for this to be disappointing. I really love Nando’s and wasn’t sure this would be any good in comparison.
We tried the Medium spice because my husband loves spicy food and I am not very good at handling hot stuff. We didn’t bother trying to feed it to the kids because they hate even a little spice.
The instructions are simple and easy to follow, the cooking process is simple and fuss free, and the finished product is delicious.
We used chicken and used it to make burgers for dinner. Husband and I were both fans. I am keen to try the mild spice now!

I absolutely loved the Nandos bag and bake. We used turkey breasts with the lemon and herb spice and beef sizzle steaks with the medium spice. I’ve always been a lemon n herb gal, so this was my favourite. I was amazed that in only 30 mins in the oven the steaks were juicy, succulent and so very flavoursome. Also so healthy and no mess. I will definitely be buying these regularly!

I tried the medium heat bag n bake about a month ago, I did it a little different though. Coated chicken breast fillets and did it in my airfryer, I followed all of the other instructions apart from the cooking method, and it came out beautiful, juicy and tender. Flavour was amazing, will definitely purchase it again. (Note: you can put the bag in the airfryer)

This product was really good. The meat was juicy and fresh and the whole meal was delicious and refreshing. The dressing was a bit tangy but complimented well with salad. My partner and I both enjoyed it and will definitely be purchasing this one again and we will be trying the different flavours. The kids were not 100% sold but over all would try again.

Delicious seasoning, altering how it is cooked but with almost the same simplicity works well too. Instead of cooking it in the bag, use the bag to shake the seasoning and flour mix over diced chicken pieces then pop them onto the deepfryer or air fryer and wallah, you have delicious seasoned popcorn chicken. I used the peri peri medium bag and bake for this and I would recommend for sure

The Nando’s Bag & Bake is a new favourite in our house. We like to alternate between different spice levels. Definitely my favourite way to have it is as chicken burgers served with homemade chips.
The Lemon & Herb extra mild flavour is delicious. It is not spicy at all so is the perfect option for kids to enjoy too. I love the flavour and it goes so well with homemade rolls to make chicken burgers.
We need to try out some different ways to serve this chicken but it is so good in burgers and I can’t stop having it that way. Haha.
It is quick and easy, versatile, delicious and a new favourite in our home.

As someone who isn’t very good with spicy food, I honestly thought the Nando’s Medium Bag & Bake was delicious! It made my lips feel tingly as I ate it but wasn’t overwhelming so I could eat it and enjoy it. My husband loves spicy food and he was happy with the level of spice in this meal.
The Nando’s Bag & Bake is a fantastic meal option. There are so many options on what to cook in it, there is a spice level to suit everyone and it is so convenient.
We have added this to our meal rotation and really enjoy it.

I loved the idea of a bag because normal seasoning sachets can be messy.
The mild flavour was delicious! Our favourite. We love Nandos and being able to enjoy something similar was great. Next time we will cook it on the BBQ for the extra bit of flavour.

when i received this product i was so exited to try. however the only downside was it says cook in electric oven only and i have gas. so never mind that. the spice comes separate from the bake bag, so i improvised and tuned my chicken into strips and made chicken strips on the stove top. it was yummy delish and i recommend to anyone whom has an electric oven not a gas one. kids loved it

As the saying goes, Winner winner chicken dinner! I sadly didn’t receive a sample of this but when I saw it in the store I had to try. And boy did Nando’s Peri Peri Lemon & Herb not disappoint!
All you have to do is put 500g chicken in the bag, add the spice sachet, Shake shake shake and put it in the oven for 30 minutes. The chicken was perfectly cooked and so juciy! Everyone in the family loved it and said it tasted yummy!
Its so easy and full of flavour for any night of the week.
I recommended this product to others and I will happily purchase again…and again and again!

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place!

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad

I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
