review 1: The guidelines in this book can be applied beyond school lunches for kids. I originally picked up Best Lunch Box Ever for ideas for the "big kid" that is my boyfriend. A man who doesn't mind sandwiches for lunch, but is easily bored by repetition. Not only did I find a variety of options for him, but I also quickly discovered that the suggestions could apply to my own lunch choices as well.What I appreciate most about this book is that it is a complete unit. You are introduced to basic nutrition, the components of healthy lunch, the building blocks of sandwiches and salads, and how to best re-purpose leftovers.A very useful book that can be applied to kid and adult lunches.
review 2: Okay, so I'm not entirely sure how kid-friendly a lot of these recipes are... more (albeit I was a very picky eater, so maybe normal kids would do just fine with chickpeas, avocados, prosciutto, and dates...). But I didn't check it out for making kid lunches, I checked it out for making grownup lunches and I do feel like I'm inspired to try out some of the recipes. I am definitely in a rut and even though I'm not sure that I'll actually get up earlier to cook lunches in the morning (almost every recipe is "best made the morning before school"), I have some new ideas to try and (better yet) a guide for stocking the pantry with nutritious and delicious stuff to stick into lunches. Some photos are included (maybe half the recipes or a little less than half). Also included: nutrition info including food groups and the importance of switching things up to include many different nutrients, advice on prep work that can be done on the weekends, tips for keeping lunch-packing supplies clean and ready, and recipes for after-school snacks to tide the wee ones over until dinner. less
