5.0 out of 5 stars The Vegan Lunch Box Returns!, August 14, 2009
By Madelyn Pryor "Goblyn Queen" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Vegan Lunch Box Around the World: 125 Easy, International Lunches Kids and Grown-Ups Will Love! (Paperback)
I was the first in line at my local bookstore to grab a copy of Vegan Lunch Box Around the World. I have to admit that I am a fan of McCann's blog, and her first book, the Vegan Lunch Box, but this book is its own work of art that makes you not only want to use this book, but turn your own lunches into a work of art no matter what your age.

McCann's book is useful in multiple ways. First, she provides several menu suggestions for various parts of the world including: United States, Canada. Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Japan. If you are unfamiliar with any of these locations, having the menu suggestions are invaluable. Also, the book has a picture gallery, showing multiple lunch box options and presentations of the menu. The pictures are so elegant; it really makes me want to have multiple lunchbox systems. The other way that the book is amazing is that it offers over 125 recipes. The recipes are very friendly to the family on the go. Many come together quickly and are made with items that can be found at the store (in a bigger city) or easily ordered online. With items that might be harder to find, McCann always gives options to order from the internet. This means that there might be some preplanning involved, but gives you something to look forward to in the mail. If you're pressed for time and looking for easy yet inventive vegan recipes, than just double or triple the recipes depending on the amount of people you have, and you have vegan dinner! Yay! Even McCann's most exotic recipes have ingredients that are commonly found. The Moroccan Tagine is a great example. It's elegant and exotic, yet, every ingredient can be found in a common supermarket.

I can't recommend this book enough. McCann strikes again, but this time with more exotic recipes, better allergen information, and more lunch boxes. Whether you're cooking for someone who is 4, or you're 94 and packing your own lunches, don't take more time reading this review! Grab a copy of this excellent book and start making vegan lunches!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure, November 26, 2009
This review is from: Vegan Lunch Box Around the World: 125 Easy, International Lunches Kids and Grown-Ups Will Love! (Paperback)
This book explains how to prepare exquisite lunches
from the storage phase to packaging and preparation.
Here are some samples of classic recipes:
o omega 3 protein bars
o mango noodles from Thailand
o caramel dip with vegan cream cheese
o Bahama Mama's beans and rice
o California roll-gluten free
o Patatas Bravas from Spain
o Balsamic strawberries
o lemon-lime sparkle and a host of other fine preparations

There is an exhaustive list of recommended resources and
websites at the end of the book. The volume comes highly
recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, October 4, 2009
This review is from: Vegan Lunch Box Around the World: 125 Easy, International Lunches Kids and Grown-Ups Will Love! (Paperback)
My family is not vegan or even vegetarian, but my son is sensitive to dairy, so I try to keep it out of his diet and particularly out of his school lunches. However, he LOVES food of all kinds and always wants to try new things. So I need to be creative about packing his lunches. The standby of PBJ will only be sufficient for him every once in a while.

This book is filled with great menus and recipes for very healthy lunches, and I would say that most of the meals can be modified to a diet that is not vegetarian or vegan. But whether you want to go entirely vegan or not, you will find lots of healthy ideas in this book.

In all honesty, I use it more for inspiration and suggestions than for the actual menus. When I'm at a loss for ideas on what to pack for lunch this week, I'll flip through the menus and recipes and look for something that I can easily manage with the ingredients I have on hand or with only a couple of items added to my weekly grocery list. I always find something new and fun to try.

And best of all, my son got very excited when I got this book. He went straight to the pictures, pointed to every single one he saw, and asked me to make them all for him. They vary from pizza to sushi, and quite honestly, I'm not always up to the task. But there are plenty of quick and easy suggestions for busy mornings that can be tossed into the lunch box in a snap.

Overall, it's a great addition to my healthy lunch collection and I would recommend it to anyone.
