Perfect for me

This is the perfect lunch cookbook for me. It is an adult lunch cookbook (though I'm sure many of the recipes are kid friendly). It is healthy without being dietetic. The recipes are easy. Everything I have tried has turned out really well. There are creative ideas in here which have inspired me to think of other lunch ideas. This book is exactly what I was looking for.

totally loving it

These recipes are great for any meal, but are targeted for making great lunches, unlike lots of recipes. And they're healthy and low-cost, unlike lots of recipes. And the book contains lots of good reading material in addition to the recipes. I consider this book a real gem.

Simple Recipes Practical Advice

I just got this book and ended up reading it cover to cover which I typically don't do for a cookbook! It just has so many good sounding, healthy looking, easy prep recipes for my family. She uses whole wheat flour and trys to cut down on white sugar but does not use ingredients that are hard to find.My three little boys loved the honey mustard chicken and it was so easy that my husband who doesn't venture beyond making pb & j or cereal made it. Today I am having the leftovers with sprouts and hummus in pita. I think this is a good book for busy people interested in eating healthier not just at lunch but all the time. There are good ideas on how to recycling the odd amounts of leftover veggies and rice or pasta from dinner into great lunches.
