Editorial Reviews:

Childhood obesity is quickly becoming epidemic, and one look into the average lunchbox shows why: high-salt, high-fat, and high-sugar convenience foods rule the day, setting kids on a dangerous path towards lifelong health problems. Changing these bad habits starts with making simple dietary adjustments. Designed to maintain kids’ energy throughout the school day, these 100 immune system-boosting recipes include healthy sandwiches, soups, salads, and wraps—even delicious cookies, cakes, and other yummy desserts! Each easy-to-follow recipe is accompanied by a wealth of nutritional information, as well as clever tips for preparing multiple meals ahead of time, and time-saving food storage ideas. Some 100 color photographs show how the foods should be prepared, and give presentation ideas that will appeal to kids of all ages.

Summary: Top 100 Healthy Recipes for a healthy lunchbox
Comment: I always have trouble deciding what my kids should have to eat in their lunch boxes. I got this book and had them mark the pages that seemed like something they would like to try. Then we tried those choices before sending them to school. This worked really well and the kids enjoy having something new in their lunches.

Summary: Wonderful inspiration for healthier lunches
Comment: I picked up this little book because my kids were so sick of PB&J or tuna sandwiches they were threatening to riot. I've also decided to make a change in our entire family's diet to a more healthful way of eating, especially since two of us could stand to lose some weight and my son has ADHD.

What some others found to be "weird", I actually found to be very inspiring. Tzatziki might sound weird or exotic at first glance, but if you bother to actually read the description, it is simply a delicious Greek yogurt dip found in any Greek restaurant, and my kids both love it! Frankly, I would have been very disappointed if there weren't some recipes in here that sound a little different and new -- what good would a cookbook be if it just contained the same ol', same ol' that my family is familiar and bored with. I'm excited at the idea of expanding my kids' palates and introducing them to new foods and tastes they haven't experienced before so that they enjoy a wide variety of foods and don't turn into picky adults.

Kids can be surprisingly adventurous eaters if they are introduced to a variety of healthy foods early on, and this cookbook contains a lot of excellent starter recipes to get them going. My kids will be so relieved to see some new and exciting foods in their lunchboxes this year! I also liked that many of the recipes would make perfect after-school snacks without much trouble at all -- a welcome relief from the prepackaged crackers and snacks we had come to rely on.

By the way, I also like the way the book is laid out -- it is extremely attractive and easy to read, and for each and every recipe, the prep times are given, as are serving suggestions and health benefits of the specific ingredients for that recipe! While there aren't photographs for ALL the recipes, there are plenty, and they all look delicious.

Summary: Great variety for the whole family
Comment: While I do agree that this book may not be for the pickiest of eaters, it has a great variety of tasty recipes that the whole family can enjoy. Also given are some sample menus for special diets and preparation times for recipes. One thing I particularly like about this book is that it also has recommendations for accompaniments to the recipes. All of the recipes are healthy and tasty, and while the variety may be experimental for some, you never know, you might get to enjoy something new!

Summary: I recommend
Comment: If your tired of hotdogs and chicken nuggets like we were, and want to start fixing healthy lunches,...this is a very good cookbook. The recipes are very simple, and the food is very healthy. The only downfall I would say is that even though the food is great you may have a hard time with picky eaters. For example I could not get mine to eat Hummus or Tabboule. Thier are a few "wierd" ingredients but most recipes don't require very many ingredients. Btw, I make lunches for my hubby with this book too.

Summary: This books cover is deceiving!
Comment: I bought this book trying to think of ideas my kids would like in their lunches besides the daily sandwich and apple. What I got in this book was quite a surprise. Unless your kids like really weird dishes, such as 'tzatziki' or 'vegi-samosas' your kids will probably not eat 1/4 of this stuff. Really this book offers maybe 10 good ideas, out of the 100 it promises. Don't waste your money!!!
