My Lunch Box: 50 Recipes for Kids to Take to School (Chronicle Books) by Hilary Shevlin Karmilowicz makes lunch-making a fun and easy activity, one that kids and adults can do together. Recipes are divided into three categories: Mains, Sides, and Treats. Gourmet lunches, snacks, and treats such as Chicken Parm Fingers, Cream Cheese Pinwheels, and Dreamy, Creamy Carrot Cupcakes should easily satiate a budding gourmand's palate. Blank recipe cards ensure that personal favorites can be added to the collection, and fun stickers are included. What's especially nice is that while most of the recipes can be done with just adult supervision, the author indicates which steps may need adult assistance. After all, you don't want the next Auguste Escoffier or Julia Child having a mishap in the kitchen!
So pep up the lunch bag, get the kids involved, and have a great school year!
