The brown bag cookbook - Hardcover

Two hundred budget saving ways to beat the lunch box blahs. The author begins by suggesting not only sandwiches, but soups, salads, meat pies and stews, desserts and drinks - all from simple recipes, with hints for making them even simpler. He then focuses on the different types of brown-baggers, including dieters, school children, picknickers, and even fancy food fanciers. Each chapter is introduced with some practical advice for packing various dishes, along with some interesting ways of using leftovers and otherwise cutting costs. The author endows his subject with a healthy helping of humor. For the man on top he proposes Eggsecutive Salad Sandwiches; and for schoolgirls into Fem Lib he suggests the Bobby Riggs Male Chauvinist Pigburgers.
