With close to 100 recipes for soups and stews, sandwiches, salads, breads, pizzas, dips, condiments, sauces and desserts, nutritionists Marie Breton and Isabelle Emond invite you to turn your lunch into a very special time for you, for your children, for every member of your family.
And whether it's lunch for school, for the office or a holiday weekend at home, the recipes in this Lunch Box are not only creative, practical and economical, but delicious and nutritious as well.
An added feature of this unique cookbook are special chapters in which the authors provide useful tips on nutrition and staples, as well as a four week menu to help you plan the weeks ahead and avoid routine.
Lunch Box: Creative Recipes for Everyday Lunches is lavishly illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings throughout.
"Lunch Box: Creative Recipes for Everyday Lunches is filled with everything you could ever wish to know about how to make lunch. The authors are dieticians based in Quebec and take a rather French flair to packed lunched. When it was first published in 2001, Lunch Box won Cuisine Canada's Gold Trophy for best French-language cookbook in Canada. It has just been translated into English and, unfortunately, the translations are a bit rough in spots. But that doesn't detract from the impressive content."
