A Real Motivator August 25, 2008
This book has given me so many ideas. I was in a rut and was able to include more variety in my lunches after getting this book!
Five Stars Are Not Enough! August 17, 2008
I fell in love with the Vegan Lunch Box blog some time ago. Every evening it was one of my first blogs to check. The book is the same high quality of ideas, recipes and side bar information. I am an adult with no children and I cannot recommend this cookbook enough. If you are a parent, I cannot imagine a better tool to ensure healthy and tasty lunches for your own little schmoo.

Love this book... it's written in an easy to read format, has tons of ideas, menus and recipes and it all sounds super-yummy. If I would suggest anything it would be to have more pictures of the finished products.
Highly-recommend August 8, 2008

Although my family is not vegan, I try to cook vegan at least twice a week. I have 2 elementary-aged school children with multiple food allergies. Jennifer's recipes are easy and delicious. Our family is eating much healthier thanks to Jennifer's book. There are so many choices for my kids to try. Since following Jennifer's recipes I have found that I like the taste of baked goods made without egg. Before Jennifer's book, I would often get heartburn after eating meals. Since eating healthier, I feel better and the kids often request food that is made with whole wheat or flax seed instead of processed flour. Jennifer...thank you! Food allergies can be dealt with much easier by following vegan recipes. You have improved the quality or my children's lives greatly. I had no idea it was so easy to bake foods without egg or dairy in them. A huge thank you!

Vegan Lunch Box is packed with recipes, antidotes, and information on more than the vegan lunch box. Yes, it is primarily a cookbook for elementary school kids when prepared as the menus suggested--but it is so much more! To read it through is to learn how to become a vegan, or to incorporate more vegan dishes into you life.
Jennifer McCann became a vegetarian at age 15 and ate the same thing for lunch for a year. She decided things would be different for her son. Every menu had to be graded a "5" by her son to be included in the book.
McCann packs the lunches in a clever bento-like box, allowing for lots of choices and minimal environmental waste, as they are re-usable. Very clever. The lunches are sure to appeal to kids because they are colorful and fun. McCall is aware that kids notice other kids' food and takes pains to create meals that become the envy of fellow students.
Part I is divided as follows:
* Quick and easy menus. For example, one menu includes lunch nibbles--vegan deli slices and cheese with rice crackers. Disigned for the kid to assemble.
Sample menu: veggie burger, sweet potato fries, wheat free apple crisp and Amazake to drink.
* Rise and Shine menus.
Sample menu: coconut carrot rice pudding, black strap gingerbread with lemon sauce, applesauce and soy jerky
* Ready and Waiting
Sample menu: peanut butter and jelly muffins, frozen snack tube, popcorn, vegetable juice
*Lunch box adventure
Includes menus from around the world.
* Special occasions
Birthdays, Halloween and more.
Part II is the recipes.
While some of the recipes take a bit of time to prepare, many have multiple uses. McCall has smart suggestions like baking large batches of muffins and freezing them individually--perfect for the teen on the go.
Highly recommend for all--vegan or not--for smart, fun and healthy lunches!
