(More customer reviews)While I can't speak for how the recipes will pan out for kids (I'm willing to bet though some folks are going to complain loudly about "weird" ingredients - but come on. Just like adults, every kid has their own tastes. Don't knock the book because YOU wouldn't have wanted to eat the recipes at 10. Tastes change, heck my niece happily eats sushi, something I would have gone running screaming from the table if faced with at her age. Every kid is different.) since as yet, it's just my husband and I. But since I got the book to add some variety in OUR packed lunches... I'm rather impressed with this book. It covers the basics - and than expands out into possibly new territory, including a great deal of information on topics ranging from reading nutrition labels to the best way to beat the hurried morning rush in getting lunches packed and ready to roll.
The but is a small one, but it's there - not a single photo or illustration to be found in the book. Not one. That doesn't impact me personally - this isn't a bento style cookbook where you are trying to create visual feasts for the eye along with feeding the stomach. I'm good without a 100 pages of pictures of sandwiches, really - but I know that a lot of folks DO want to see what their food is supposed to look like in the end.
But barring that little snag? I think this book is going to do exactly what I was hoping for - add some much needed variety (of a healthy sort) to my lunches and my husband's lunches. And who know? It might just help prepare me for packing smaller versions here in a few years. But until then? This is a tasty book for all ages and needs.

Good Food to Go is the ultimate guide to packing healthy lunch boxes with food that kids will enjoy and parents can feel good about. Back-to-school means back-to-lunch-boxes, and the daily quandary of what to put in them. With this new book, two working moms - one a teacher, one a pediatrician - offer creative ideas for balanced lunches and nutritious snacks, as well as up-to-date health tips that will make packing lunch a joy and not a chore. Given that children consume approximately one third of their daily calories at school, what goes into kids' lunch boxes is vital to their well-being. Yet it still needs to be hot enough, cold enough or crisp enough to withstand a morning in the cloakroom. (And with allergies on the rise many schools are now nut-free, eliminating that old standby: peanut butter.) Most important, the lunch needs to be kid-friendly and delicious because after all, the healthiest lunch isn't very healthy if it goes uneaten.Good Food to Go fuses the how-to's of creating wholesome, homemade lunches with the latest information on food and nutrition. Practical tips will help parents make environmentally conscious food choices and eliminate lunch-box waste to ensure children are eating for a healthier planet. Many of the recipes outline what can be done the night before, while others may be made in bulk and frozen, facilitating easy, last-minute lunches. Handy meal planners help to ensure that kids are eating a healthy variety of nutritious lunches throughout the week.
