Celebrity chef Gand (Chocolate and Vanilla) has written several excellent dessert books, and in newer titles she's explored topics such as easy entertaining and home cooking. Written with Matheson, her collaborator on Gale Gand's Brunch! 100 Fantastic Recipes for the Weekend's Best Meal, Gand's latest cookbook covers all the components of a homemade gourmet lunch: snacks (parmesan-black pepper popcorn, hummus), entrées (lobster roll, panko-crusted chicken), desserts, and accompaniments. Most recipes suggest pairings for packed lunches, meals at home, and parties.
VERDICT Like Lucinda Scala Quinn's Mad Hungry Cravings, this collection can help foodie families resist the urge to go for takeout.
