The Dinner Ladies are Sophie Gilliatt and Katherine Westwood. We got together at the school gate in 2007 and came up with the idea of preparing dinners for time-poor friends and family members so that they woud always have good, homemade food in their fridges and freezers (and incidentally, so would we).
Between us we have seven children and two husbands of varying sizes, appetites and degrees of fussiness - there’s not much we don’t know about pleasing a tricky crowd.
