Learn how to make an easy and delicious lunch from in-the-fridge staples and leftovers; how to accommodate allergies; and how to make every lunch box a fun delight for kids. Colorful photography throughout provides visual inspiration.

Stuck in a rut? Got a picky eater in your house? This book offers ideas and strategies that will inspire you to step up your lunch-packing game, from irresistible wraps and playful sandwiches, to salads kids will actually eat, to versatile snacks that satisfy the fussiest palates and much more!

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money and google ideas July 12, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for some new ideas for my 6 and 4 year old's lunches for the upcoming school. I got one good idea. I would say 90% of the recipes are not really made for a kid's lunch box. If you are looking for good lunch ideas for the the home then by all means purchase it. If you are looking for ideas for an actual lunch box, save your money and google "lunch box ideas." If you have a picky eater, DO NOT BUY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes even for adults September 5, 2012
By Jaz
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a college student and I am on a really tight budget, so I started packing my lunches. I bought this cookbook because i was drawing a blank on what i food i could pack that would taste good cold. As long as you have an insulated lunchbox and couple freeze packs, all these recipes are safe to eat. This book gave me great ideas on what i should pack for my lunch. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to pack lunches for themselves or their children.

This has been a good book to have more options for my toddler's lunch/dinner. I wish there were more creative ideas for how to make the food fun (animal shapes, scenery, etc.)

I didn't really like this because it's not really full of meals for kids, but more like an adult lunch cut into "fun" shapes. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars ok hate is a strong word but i certainly didn't like this book.
I found this book put too much emphasis on cutting food into shapes which is very wasteful in this day and age. Read more
