Part 1: Start here, and how to pack a lunch you will eat
This is a book of 20 lunches for adults who take lunch to work, to school, on the road or to a home office desk. It is for people who are tired of the same sad sandwich, who are spending $12 a day on takeout, or who simply want to know on Sunday night what they are eating on Wednesday. Each lunch can be made ahead, packed in a container and eaten within the day. Part 4 turns them into a plan.
All measurements are US: cups, ounces, pounds and °F. Each recipe says how many lunches it makes and how long it keeps.
How the book is organized
- Part 1: the packing rules, gear and food safety.
- Part 2: ten lunches that taste great cold and need no reheating (1 to 10).
- Part 3: ten lunches that you reheat or pack in a hot jar (11 to 20).
- Part 4: a Sunday prep list, a filled-in example week with a shopping list by aisle, a second week, and a blank planner.
