I really enjoy this cookbook — I love the pictures and the recipes themselves are great lunch ideas. I also truly love the focus on waste free!

Great book both to get some lunch and snacks ideas and give you tips on reducing your waste and becoming a packaging-free luncher.
Recipes are easy to follow and mosty include ingredients which are easy to source. This isn't about particularly inventive or new recipes, but rather about how to put known dishes into a lunch or a lunch box, how to make some in advance, replace ingredients for more environmentally friendly ones (thinking of almonds and almond milk for example) and being more conscious in what you eat.
Most of the snack recipes are vegetarian, which is great, but when it comes to salads and sandwiches half the recipes contain meat (mostly chicken, one beef, one tuna, one salmon). And while this is not a vegan or vegetarian cookbook, a litte note with a meat-free alternative would be great for those who want to try and cut out meat entirey when looking at environmentally friendly food.

An absolutely beautiful book by the founder of Stasher bags (an alternative to plastic zipper bags).

Divided into categories such as prep/supplies/environmental concerns, soups, sandwiches, snacks, grain bowls, and salads (the best chapter). Her spreads/dressings recipes seem to be the strongest, to me, and definitely are worth trying!!

I am not sure that many of the recipes would be appealing to my family, but if you are not looking to cook for children and instead you are looking for a great way to bring an at-home meal for lunch at work, this book would work well for you!

I received a free ARC as a reviewer for NetGalley.

Let's Fix Lunch! is so much more than a recipe book. It is a book of tips, resources, and it is also a handy reference to use in the reduce, reuse, recycle trend.

There are gorgeous photographs of every dish and they all made my mouth water. You'll want to try every recipe because every dish looks so delicious.

Let's Fix Lunch! is an excellent book to have in your kitchen library. It can be used not only for lunches, but just about any meal. Rated it five stars -- I loved it!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

Let’s Fix Lunch was part lunch ideas and part becoming more away of how to reduce waste from lunch. I was interested in reading this book as I find lunch is the hardest meal of the day for me to find ideas and make healthy. There were a lot of pictures to go with the recipes, which I always find appealing in a cookbook. There are quite a few recipes I will try and help vary up from just your normal PB&J sandwiches for lunch. The end of the book gives tips on how to live a litter free life.

I was provided with an electronic ARC through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Very clever title. I see what you did there. 

Loved the attention that was paid to reducing waste in meals as well as materials used to serve,  store, and preserve food. Personally, I have never heard of food-grade silicone stasher bags that are a substitute for single use plastic bags like sandwich bags or snack bags. <i>I am geeking-out-excited about this new food storage option.</i> It's okay, judge me, I would, too. Then go out and get these bags. ;) 
ONWARD!

The At-A-Glance icons are super helpful to understand if a recipe will meet your needs for that meal. Eco-tips are distributed throughout this book to help readers remain as litter-free and waste-free as possible. Detailed meal planning from one-day prep to recipes to sample meal plans are included. And...and.. and....ANDDDDD.... There is photography galore!! 

Most notable recipe was the Chickpea Walnut Salad on Lavash. Please, too much awesome. Mind blown. While these recipes are fairly common lunches for Americans, they are re-imagined in a new light to focus on being economical, kid-friendly, planet-friendly while still remaining TASTY AF. 

I cannot rave about this new release enough and will be purchasing in every format available.

Have you wanted to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle and don't know where to start? This book might be just what you are looking for. It has 2 sections of text on waste reduction and sustainability and a section of lunch recipes. The recipes are mostly fairly simple and encompass a wide variety of types of meals including some less common flavors (bibimap). Most recipes are "plant forward " and there are a number of vegan choices.

A few recipes made me scratch my head, like recipes for some simple sandwiches as well as a roast beef sandwich. The cattle industry is not generally thought of as a sustainable or green industry.

This book might be a bit basic for recipe collectors.

The pluses for this book -- lovely color photos of just about every recipe and a variety of eco-friendly meals. That said, there is no nutritional information for the recipes and many of them won't work for those on special diets. They're pretty standard American fare (meat, dairy, wheat, refined carbs...). The premise is that the meals can be eaten on the go at work or whatever, but many of them seemed like they should be eaten hot and wouldn't be hot this way. I don't know that I'd want a quinoa bowl with meats and veggies that was room temperature. Shrug. It frequently read like an ad for Stasher reusable bags (the author's company). It also didn't feel that eco-friendly at times, like the suggestion to reuse disposable bags to throw away dirty diapers. If we're going to be eco-friendly, how about we use cloth diapers, or at least mention the option.

All in all, it's a pretty book but seemed geared towards a very specific upper class clientele, not necessarily the rest of us who live a sustainable lifestyle all the time without fancy silicone bags or gourmet radishes.

I love and collect cookbooks, and this one is by far one of the best I have seen and read! With beautiful photos, and helpful tips to being more environmentally conscience with handy Eco Tips with every recipe, this book had me taking a mental note of what I already have in my pantry and refrigerator, so that I could begin my meal planning. This cookbook is easy to read, and you probably already have many of the ingredients on hand to begin preparing these dishes immediately! Stasher's proceeds for this book go to the organization No Kid Hungry. This book is a win win all around!

A wonderful collection of lunch related recipes presented in an accessible format with accompanying photography, variations and a key of icons to mark recipes that are vegetarian, freezable etc. There are also some great recommendations, tips and encouragement provided at the beginning for readers interested in becoming more environmentally friendly with their food storage.

Photos - 5/5 stars this book contains beautiful photos for each recipe. It is helpful for picking out which recipe to make as well as a visual of the end result.
Ease of ingredients - 4/5 stars. Most ingredients could be found at an average store. There may be a few under the chapter called “The Next Level” where the reader may need an ingredient from a bigger grocery store.
Variety - 4/5 There is a nice variety in here. I wish there were a few more recipes.

This was unique - most plant based cook books don’t have recipes with meat, eggs or dairy. This one has a few recipes with these ingredients. Still all recipes are loaded with fruits, veggies and grain - they are the star of the lunches..

Confession time: meal-prepping is not my friend. Just the thought of it makes me feel like I need a nap. This is a lovely cookbook with all sorts of healthy and eco-friendly recipes and plans. Snack recipes? I'm doing well if I remember to put some almonds in my pocket on the way out of the door. I'm just a tiny bit mad at this book for reminding me I can (and should!) do better.

I got this book, "Let's Fix Lunch" because I LOVE to cook & bake and I am also very interested in sustainability and eco-living, and since the description of this book in the listing said its, "An inspiring guide for anyone who wants to do their part to save the earth, Let's Fix Lunch! makes it simple to create a sustainable, waste-free home", I knew I had to get it.

Although this book has many tips on reducing waste and creating "litter-free" lunches, I have NOT yet been able to make any of the recipes in this book. Because due to the current coronavirus lockdown, it has been very difficult (especially since I am unable to drive due to disabilities and the local public transportation services which is minimal to non-existent even when there is NO lockdown has been shut down completely and grocery delivery services like Instacart, Shipt & PrimeNow have NO delivery slots available) to find the ingredients for the recipes. Even basic ingredients (like eggs, butter and flour) let alone more uncommon ingredients (like hazelnuts and tahini) seem to be out of stock at all nearby stores.

However, since I don't want to put off reviewing this cookbook until this coronavirus situation ends (whenever or if it even ever does!) I'm going to just post this review, and then if/when the lockdown ends, and I can get the ingredients, I will test some of these recipes and then come back and update this review.

In the meantime, I am giving this book 3 stars, NOT because I don't think it doesn't deserve better (because it probably or even likely does!) but because like I said, I am unable to test out the recipes right now. and so I don't want to give it either a high rating OR a low rating, but instead something neutral.

That being said, I really liked the various tips and suggestions to reduce waste, and the recipes look yummy, and I am looking forward to making some, many or even ALL of these dishes once the normal supply in the supermarkets & grocery stores is restored!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think everyone is in a rut when it comes to making lunch currently. I also think we're having to do more meal planning when it comes to trying to get through a week or two before heading out to the store. This book addresses both of those issues in addition to trying to reduce waste. The photos are beautiful and the ingredients are easily found for the most part. Most of the recipes are low maintenance which fall in the time constraints of providing lunch fairly quickly for your family. Some recipes I'm anxious to try: apple streusel bars, spinach-feta frittata sandwiches, and crispy barbecue chickpeas. With a September release, it's a shame this book can't be released and enjoyed sooner.

Thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Let’s face it - right now buying in bulk, making ahead and needing to store leftovers is at the top of everyone’s mind when thinking about food. Using as much as you can of each item, wasting less, storing better and more sustainably is going to help you AND the planet. And eating delish meals while doing so? Win-win!

What a great book! I honestly love everything about it. I love that this book cares about the earth and promotes a no waste lifestyle. I love the simplicity of the recipes and how easy this book makes everything seem. I love that almost every recipe is veg friendly and if it isn't, there are easy veg alternatives. I love the colour palette, the page layout and the pictures are fantastic. I also really like the tips at the end of the book. I can't wait to try some of these recipes!

Thank you to the author for putting together this book of easy and healthy lunches. I am getting tired of the same old lunch everyday and this book has given me a whole bunch of new yummy things to try!
