Vegan Lunch Box

Review by:  L.Z.

I don't usually review cookbooks, since I'm never sure if they really count as reading, but thought I'd give a heads up to anyone thinking about checking this one out. If you're a vegan who is into processed products to mimic real meat, this may be a great find for you. If you're looking for whole food, plant based, interesting alternatives to meat (but not soy made to look like deli meat), this is not going to be your book. Disappointing.
Not only was I overwhelmed with the use of fake meat products, defrosted frozen vegetable medley isn't something that is going to cut it as an appealing lunch to either of my kids. Although they may be nutritionally sound, there's nothing tasty or interesting about them--and I certainly don't need a cookbook to tell me how to defrost them!
