Wow what a fun book! As a mom with children who need lunches taken to school sometimes it is so hard to provide them something easy, delicious, and not doing the same thing every day. This guide was so helpful in my learning about balanced lunches and nutrition for children, but also my kids loved it too! While they didn't read it, they loved looking at the pictures and being able to tell me what looked good to them! It gave us lots of new ideas to try and my kids are just as excited as I am!

My girls and I loved this book. Coming up with lunch ideas is a needed thing nowadays and this book makes them look wonderful and easy to do. I have a long list of things to try and we cannot wait to start having amazing lunches.

What a fantastic range of delicious lunches! There is something in here for EVERYONE, regardless how picky an eater you, or your child may be. This book is jam packed full of amazing, varied lunch ideas, covering all the food groups. Each lunch is well balanced, has easy to source ingredients, but that can also be mixed and matched. There are great tips on how to make even the most boring food look appetising and special, and it covers themes, celebrations, colours, and more.. I seriously want the authors to come and make my lunches! Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to Artisan Books and Netgalley for an advanced e-copy of this book to read and review.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cute book!

It breaks down the different kind of lunch boxes and storage as well as tips on how to help expand kids tastes. There are even jokes included in the back of the book you can include on a napkin! The book lists 100 recipes and ideas from easy to complicated with a variety of themes and foods. A number of these suggestions are adult-friendly as well!

There's some beautiful wraps, colorful meal combinations, and a lot of ideas for making lunch fun.

This book is like if Pinterest had an instruction manual. There are lots of pictures of sample lunches, recipes, meal plans, shopping lists, and even ideas for upping the cute factor for holidays and special days.

If you're looking to take your packed lunches to the next level, this book will read like a master course. If you're looking for cute lunchbox inspiration, this is a slam dunk. But if you're just trying to survive the fact that you have to pack lunch every. single. day. this will probably just overwhelm you.

Thank you to Artisan Books and NetGalley for providing me with an advance reader copy to review!

Wow! I'm in love. This book Lunchbox by Marnie Hanel and Jen Stevenson is fun food to the best level!

If anyone would do this for me I would feel so treasured!

I didn't know about Bento Picks or Onigiri molds but I do now! I love bento boxes, bento anything but to have a huge inspiration book about creating fun bento boxes to elevate food and showcase how food is love and also do it nutritiously how great is that!?

There is Wow Factor 101 chapter and wow does it deliver! Cheesy of the Eyes, oh my goodness I'll never look at wax cheese rounds again in the same way. Imagination galore and then the color, combos, making snacking and meals to a whole new level. Each combo even has a fun name! I want to be their child but then we could do this as adults for our special someone also, this does not have to be child exclusive when you think about it!

I adore this book and it will be a gift book for every birthday from now on! I am also now inspired to try my new combos but I need to first create the Purple Box and it's going to be something I do as often as possible. The Star Box, I have graduated sizes of stars and I have already go busy since reading this book. I never thought about doing a crepe box but I am now!

There are chapters, themes, shopping lists, etc. They have thought of it all!

I would like to thank NetGalley, and the publisher Artisan for the opportunity to read and review LunchBox by Marnie Hanel and Jen Stevenson

This was the perfect time for me to discover this book and let others know about it. School is just beginning. Are you a person who regularly needs to pack a lunch for a child you know? Would you like to do this with a bit more elan and flair?

Surprise someone by making their lunch tasty and fun. It will feel doable after spending time with this book and its many ideas.

The author begins with a chapter called Lunch Logistics. It provides all the information that is needed for the following chapters.

One of the many things that I enjoyed seeing was all the ways that a mini Babybel cheese could be decorated. This is just one of their whimsys.

The authors seem to like bento box style lunches. Many of these involve assembling not needing to know anything special about cooking or baking. Others do involve some cooking but the recipes feel very doable. For example, one lunch box includes peanut noodles (recipe included) along with apple slices, rice cracker mix, tangerine and raspberries, and edamame. Yes, the noodles are a bit more sophisticated than peanut butter and jelly but that may be just the thing. Others such as a suggested first day of school lunch are simple and creative. For example assemble a pencil whose base is cheddar cheese.

Recommended for those who are creative and view lunch as a fun challenge. Their lucky kids will enjoy opening thier lunch boxes.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Artisan Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

Thanks so much to the publisher and to NetGalley for giving me access to this book. What a great book! I have lot of patrons looking for cookbooks and I will be recommending this cookbook! Love the pictures and the unique ideas for packing lunches.

I really enjoyed this book. I was looking for lunchbox inspo and it certainly gave me that. My favourite part was at the end with all of the images of how these boxes would look all put together.

Lunchbox: 100 Ingenious Ideas for Kid-Approved Meals is full of different ideas of snacks and lunch options for kids of all ages. I enjoyed seeing the wide variety of options and recipe ideas that I could try for my kids. There are some recipes that I know my son, who isn’t even that picky, won’t eat, but there are a lot that he will and I look forward to seeing what he thinks. The pictures in the book are amazing and really make the book! I don’t know how many of these lunchbox combinations I will actually use, but I love the wide variety and look forward to trying some of these out! If you’re looking for fun ways to mix up your kids lunch or even just their snacks, it’s worth checking out the ideas in this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book!
