32 Kids' Lunches That Will Make Them Beg for Bento Boxes!

Kate: This book starts at the very beginning for you laying out different bento container options with pros and cons. Then it gets into recipes by season. I LOVE this book and plan to use it for when my kiddos have their own bento boxes for school lunches. I use it for now just to get some recipe ideas for my toddlers’ lunch. I’m impressed with how broken down and descriptive this book is! If you need help with lunch ideas for your kiddos, get this book!

LilithLilith: The only way I would improve this book is if it also had the shopping list for each recipe. But the recipes are so simple, it really isn't hard to extract the ingredients into a grocery app, have it all delivered and all you have to do is make the food and enjoy. It's also great that the bentos are organized by season. The photo is my version of bento 25. Definitely recommend this book to any busy parent who cares about the quality of nutrition they provide for their child(ren).

Gabriela: La calidad del papel no es tan buena como esperaba . Las recetas están un poco complicadas . Hay algunas que si me van a servir pero hay otras que no son del gusto de mi hija. Lo compre para mi hija de 9 para ver si se interesaba en preparase su propio lunch pero está difícil que ella se prepare las recetas sola. El precio no está mal en general si lo usaré pero no tanto como pensaba .

Schneider: The cover makes it look like it would be good for kids under 10, but in my opinion it’s best for older kids. The recipes seem more for teens/adults. Lots of strong flavors like Mayo in recipes, beets, and onions that at least for my 5 and 3 year olds, is not desirable. Your teens may really like it, however the recipes require quite a bit of work so working parents may struggle to find time to prepare the foods.

NessNess: This brilliant book is broken down into six main sections. Bento 101 covers the basics of bento boxes, great bento containers to purchase yourself along with packing principles and techniques to help with picky eaters. The book is organised by seasons starting with Fall/Autumn when children in the northern hemisphere start their school year, followed by the remaining seasons. It contains over 125 recipes for mains, sides, dips, snacks and treats for your lunchbox. The mains also work as a family dinner. Every recipe is clearly labelled so it’s easy to see which recipes are suitable for dietary requirements free from gluten, dairy and nuts. There is also a handy recipe index at the back by dietary label. A gem of a book that makes packed lunches so much brighter. Highly recommended.

Matthew: There are some great recipes in here. I especially love how simple some of them are and how they'll encourage my kid to try new foods without going too far out of her comfort zone! One thing I felt was missing, however, was serving sizes. None of the recipes provide serving sizes, so it's hard to know if you need to adjust the recipe to make the amount you want. I found that very frustrating when trying some recipes for the first time.
