It's Here!
Finally, at long last, my new cookbook Vegan Lunch Box is ready for purchase! The books will be arriving at the beginning of November and orders will start shipping November 15th (just in time for the holidays, whew).
Operators are standing by! If you preorder today at VeganLunchBox.com, your book will be lovingly packaged and delivered to the post office by none other than yours truly!
Wait, there's more! Ordering direct will also get you free shipping on domestic U.S. orders (additional shipping costs apply to international and priority orders).
But that's not all! Order today and you'll also get a super-spiffy "Vegan Lunch Box" sticker that you can stick on your very own lunch box! Or wherever you want. How great is that?! (12/1 update: sorry, stickers are sold out!)
By the way, if you would like to have your copy autographed, I can do that, too. Just write me a note in the "Other Instructions" box on your order form.
So go right here right now to order a copy or read more about what's in the Vegan Lunch Box. Woo!

Exciting stuff :-) Will it be available through bookstores?
Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
Ordered mine!! (my youngest 2 kids are very into anything "laptop lunches" and look forward to trying your recipes).
Crap. I clicked on the order link so fast (and didn't finish reading the post) and bought the book and then I finished reading the post. Now I see the note about the autograph. Oh well. In case you see this, can you autograph mine? Kristin from Framingham, MA.
Congrats! And hurrah for the rest of us, too -- I just placed my order and can't wait to get the book in my hot little hands :-)
Yayyy!
Yaay!
Just ordered my copy-- can't wait!
I ordered my copy! yay!
I clicked too fast, too. I'd love to get mine autographed. Congratulations on your labor of love being published.

Congratulations, I recently started reading this blog and I LOVE it!!!!
Congrats, Jennifer! It looks amazing and I can't wait to make all the wonderful food inside! I just ordered mine and now I'm eagerly anticipating November 15. Heck yes! Great job!
i don't think i ever post a comment but i ALWAYS read yr blog it's great and a HUGE CONGRATS on a book deal..that is quite an accomplishment!!
Congratulations. I too couldn't order mine fast enough so didn't realise I could have got it autographed.

Thank you so much! Everyone who mentioned that they forgot to ask for an autograph, I've made a note of it on your order forms. :-)
Wow, lots of orders are coming in!!
>>Will it be available through bookstores?
Yes, I'll be keeping everyone posted about the availability of the book as it makes its way to various websites and stores. For right now, though, the website is the only source.
You rock!
you have no idea how much you have inspired me. I was already vegetarian, but since reading your blog, a lot has changed. your info about Eat to Live urged me to read it too, and after doing so, I was persuaded to become vegan too. I also got a laptop lunchbox like Shmoo, only mine is pink. I'm hoping my husband will get your book for me for Christmas. you rock Jennifer!
The comments were down when I stpped by to buy my book yesterday. I can't wait to get it in the mail. Thanks for the inspiration,
-Katharine.

I ordered your book, I love cookbooks and I strongly believe in supporting the things you love. I love your creativity and your theme. Food. Being hypoglycemic it is hard for me to be in love with food. But I love preparing it, so this is simple but fun, my motto. People think I put a lot of work into my dinner parties, when in fact it is an illusion.
Yippie! Hubs is ordering one for me today! Finally! Woot!
Woohoo! That's wonderful! I'm probably going to order tomorrow, as we're broke right now. :-S But I will order when we have money, which is tomorrow. :-)
I'm excited about this book, so I can only imagine how thrilled you must be! I just ordered my copy. Thanks for doing what you do!
Wow, congratulations! I've followed your blog and am really excited for your new book!!
yippee! I can't wait until our copy arrives... only I orderd the copy first and then checked your blog where you said you'd autograph them if we make a note of it in 'the other' field...
is there anyway we could still get an autograph?
thanks,
vera
I just ordered mine. This is truly very exciting. I hope the book turns out to be a great success. And I always liked the cover without the stripes better :)
Congrats!!!! We'll be sure to have this in our home! Looks amazing, and the cover is adorable! Nice work!!
Wow! I love the idea of the book!! I am going to order too, and keep waiting anxiously for it to get into my maibolx!
I have one question though, is there a picture of each recipe in the book? And all the lunchboxes like you post here in the website??
Oh boy, this is going to be the most useful cookbook I will have at home with DS going to kindergarten next year!
What an awesome idea to share with us your great lunchbox creative talent!
Ana
Yay! Congradulations! I'm sooo excited for your success! I want mine autographed too!
What a great accomplishment! If you need me, I'll be camping out by my mailbox.
oooh that's soo cool! just in time for my birthday
hehe

c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s ! !
I'm sad you got rid of the purple from the book cover :-(
But yey for you!
Jennifer, this is awesome! I'm so thrilled to see this post. Looks like you're going to be busy busy autographing!
Awesome! Can you please tell me if the recipes in the book include calorie counts?
>>I also got a laptop lunchbox like Shmoo, only mine is pink.
Hey, Nicki -- those new pink sets are SO cute!!
>>I have one question though, is there a picture of each recipe in the book? And all the lunchboxes like you post here in the website??
Ah, I meant to mention that! The book includes a full color photo insert with several of our best pictures. We couldn't afford to print a picture for *every* lunch -- the price would have gone through the roof! BUT I am working on a photo gallery for the website with pictures for every lunch from the blog and in the book, with an index for easy navigation. That way people can see the lunches without paying a fortune and a half for the book. My goal is to have that done by Christmastime.
>>Can you please tell me if the recipes in the book include calorie counts?
Sorry, no calorie counts. Another place where the cost and time involved was too exorbitant.
for our autograph please... I would like it to be for the whole family. The order is Vera Wood, but I would like it to be to Vera, CJ & Xochi in San Marcos, TX.
Thanks so much Jennifer, Congratulations again. I'm very proud to support you, this book is a work of art (if it's half as nice as your blog). Still can't wait!
congratulations, jennifer, you are an inspiration to mom's EVERYWHERE!
could you autograph mine? i ordered as quickly as I could click, and forgot to note it!
thanks
Kari
I just ordered mine and I did remember to ask for your autograph! woo hoo! Now- what to do with my sticker?!?!?!
Just ordered my copy and remembered to request an autograph :-) But dang, I should have requested little Shmoo's autograph, too! That would be awesome!!
YAY YOU! Jennifer, I'm so happy for you. It must be so exciting to see all your hard work & creativity wrapped up into one COOL book! I would like to thank you for mentioning "grown-ups" on the cover, as I most certainly AM one! I'm a nurse and have no kids, but let me tell you, my own lunches (inspired by you) are quite the hit at work. All the nurses (and some of the docs) greet me with "whatcha got good today?" Two have even become vegan! Woo! I go now to place my order :-)
I ordered my copy just now but how do I know how much the shipping will be? I'm from Canada.
When you choose international/priority shipping, the shipping cost is added into the price of the book -- it's $5.00, so it comes to $27.95.
We decided it was easier to just add $5 on to the price of each book than having PayPal add the shipping using their percentages chart.
Thanks!
Jennifer
Thank you so much for a fantastic blog (so good you inspired me to start my own recipe blog!), and congratulations on the cook book! I'm looking forward to getting a copy (or 12) for me and my vegan and non vegan friends!!
Yay! I can't believe it's already been 8 months since I discovered your blog (and over a year since you started it!) You have inspired me to start blogging (and I'm sure many others too), so congratulations on finally getting the book out. You must have such a feeling of accomplishment and relief! This is going on the x-mas list (c'mon, Santa...)
Congratulations Jennifer! What a happy occasion! Just wonderful!
Congratulations! What a fantastic achievement.
I have just ordered two copies (one for us - unborn child and husband's work lunches) and one for a family member who I think will take to the idea despite not being a vegan.
I figured that you wouldn't be able to sign Australian orders, so I didn't request your autograph.
Congratulations! I've ordered a copy and can't wait for it to arrive here in the mountains of Tokyo.
Our little guy is just two and a half, but we love to make bento boxes and visit the local parks on the weekends. At this stage, he seems to react very positively to how the meal looks -- interesting looking goes in the mouth, others don't make it that far -- so we hope to somehow reproduce your wonderful creations.
We also will need to keep his attention on his own bentos when he starts going to school, so other less-healthy bentos don't lead him astray. His nursery school has been very cooperative about substituting soy for milk and not giving the meat and dairy products that the other kids are fed. At the same time, they don't understand why we have requested the substitution even though he shows no signs of illness, or in other words, no signs of getting sick from the food they serve. One of the reasons (his vegan diet) is obvious to us, but the school staff have been unable to make the connection as the same strong misleading myths about meat and dairy are imbedded here. At least the traditional Japanese diet is quite healthy and relatively available.
Sorry for the long comment. Your radio interview hit a chord even though we live in a different culture. Your outlook is so refreshing and uplifting, I hope to hear more interviews.
