“J.M. Hirsch gets you thinking out of the (lunch) box by inventing alternative ways to prepare and package the usual suspects, introducing completely new ideas (pizza sushi anyone?) and offering terrific strategies that makes it seem so do-able. Heck, he makes lunch box cuisine fun!!” (Sara Moulton, host of public television's Sara's Weeknight Meals)
"Balanced, clever lunch-time fodder – just the recipe for happy kids, every day of the week." (Jamie Oliver)

This is a fun book of ideas and a few recipes for getting out of the lunch box rut. With suggestions that adults and kids alike will enjoy, it is filled with beautiful color photographs which is always a plus for a book about food.
What I like about this little book is the focus on fresh ingredients and the inspiration for creating unique lunches I might not have thought about beyond last night's leftovers or throwing together a sandwich. Those make fine lunches but sometimes those who pack one every day want something different. It isn't that we really need a book to get us to think of new ideas on our own, but the sugggestions in this one can lead to even more as we work with what is in the fridge or pantry.
The book includes suggestions for making things like yogurt and even oatmeal a main meal with nutritious additions, ideas for sandwich wraps and salads, turning the convenience of already prepared food from the deli or a restaurant into balanced lunches, making kids' meals more appealing so they actually eat them, and suggestions for the types of portable containers that are best for keeping lunches fresh and mess-free.
One section of the book has recipes for family dinners that can become the foundation for a packed lunch the next day with a few additions, as well as recipes that can be made ahead and frozen for quick lunches. I also liked the suggestion to consider having certain foods cold that we would normally have heated such as an an English muffin pizza with a little sauce and slices of Canadian bacon and cheese.
