My Review 🧡
I adored all the gorgeous and colorful photos that adorned each page, showcasing the recipes beautifully. The only thing missing was the nutritional facts of each recipe. I am always disappointed when cookbooks do not include such pertinent information.
I am horrible at meal planning, and found the weekly meal prep table to be incredibly helpful. I am also empowered and inspired to become more eco-friendly than I already am. The statistics of food packaging waste that is included in the book is staggering, and opened my eyes to how much of a problem this is not only for our generation, but for future generations. I want to do my part to lessen these statistics. I also love that a portion of every Let's Eat Lunch book sold will go to No Kid Hungry program, which is an amazing perk to purchasing a copy for yourself. Not only are you getting educated, and getting some yummy recipes, but you are helping feed others.
As far as the recipes go, many of them did not really fit the taste of my family, but I did bookmark a few recipes to try later. The Spinach-Feta Frittata Sandwich sounds delicious, as well as the Italian Tomato Bean Soup that I am planning to make once fall really kicks in. I have always wanted to make my own hummus, and am considering the White Bean Hummus recipe to be my first!
Though I was disappointed in the recipes themselves Let's Fix Lunch is a beautiful presented lifestyle book that has little golden nuggets throughout, a few new recipes, and great tips and reminders to help the environment. I enjoyed looking through it and look forward to trying a few of the recipes.
My Rating: ★★★
About the Author
IT ALL STARTED IN THE KITCHEN
It seemed like your typical Wednesday as Stasher Founder Kat Nouri packed her kids' lunch. But in one of those dramatic lightbulb movie moments, Kat realized just how much plastic waste she and her family were producing every day, and so she went on the hunt for an alternative.
An entrepreneur and someone who has always questioned the status quo, Kat saw an opportunity to create a totally unique and revolutionary product. Something beautiful, something functional, something you could reuse over and over again -- inside and outside the kitchen.
With a background in designing and developing silicone textiles, Kat produced the world's first patented, self-sealing platinum silicone storage bag that gives back to the planet with every sale, and every time you use it. To date, Stasher has prevented nearly one billion single-use plastic baggies from piling up in landfills and polluting our oceans. Kat's drive and passion has turned Stasher into a global movement and award-winning business that takes pride in giving back. Through the company's commitment to 1% For The Planet, Stasher supports environmental non-profits dedicated to the planet. Kat currently resides in Northern California with her husband, children and dog.
