Start your review of The Visual Guide to Easy Meal Prep: Strategies and Recipes to Get Organized, Save Time, and Eat Healthier

There are some great tips and recipes in this meal prepping book. They all seem to be healthy with lean meats and lots of vegetables. The book is easy to read and to understand. It also has a weekly plan. At the end this will save you some time, which you can use on other things in life. I do wonder how long things will still be safe to eat if you prep them early on in the week.
This is a ARC from the publisher via Netgalley, which I got for a honest review.

The Visual Guide to Easy Meal Prep by Erin Romeo is a perfect addition to any kitchen. The layout is simple and the instructions are easy to follow. Some of the ideas do seem like common sense, however, anyone new to meal prepping and looking for healthy recipes will find them here.

3.5 stars.
This book is helpful in teaching you the basics but it includes many obvious stuff that you should know like buying knives for the kitchen to get started. This takes around 1/3 of the book before going to the lists of food and which category they fall into (carbohydrates, fats or protein).
I like how there was a low carb, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free plans before heading out to the recipes for each meal of the day with pro tips in between.

I really enjoy meal prepping one day a week out of my need to be organized, eat healthy, and be able to grab things quickly. I think this is a good cookbook but I wasn't sure what the 'visual guide' aspect of this book was since it seemed more of a straight-forward cookbook. The recipes are great (never thought of a 'broccoli, chicken, and cheese-stuffed sweet potato') yet other than the basics (a list of foods to purchase), I didn't learn anything over exciting that was different from how I nor

This book works on several levels, but you have to buy into the whole package for it to work for you.
Firstly Meal Prep is a self-repeating process, the more you do the easier the idea becomes a reality. This book presented a great argument for Meal Prep but will it make me change - sadly not.
Secondly Meal Prep prompts a better lifestyle but demands a degree of organisation and planning to have a ready meal to hand to save the grasp for that slice of cake.
Thirdly Meal Plan is easy only if you are ...more

This step-by-step book is great if you are struggling with the best ways to meal prep. I often get overwhelmed when I get home from the grocery store after I have sworn I will meal prep, and instead I give up on the idea. This book helped me get organized and set up in such a way that I didn't feel overwhelmed and was able to do the cleaning/chopping/full prepping. It is important to point out that this is not a cookbook (although she does include 4 simple meal plan ideas, with cooking instructi

As someone new to the idea of serious meal prep, this book is fantastic, it has given me everything I could possibly need to know, and then some!
It includes steps needed for meal prep success, kitchen equipment you will need, batch cooking instructions, grocery shopping, foods that will work, and even vegetarian, low carb, gluten free and dairy free meal plans.

This book isn’t groundbreaking- the recipes are mostly simple, and the meal prep instructions are not more involved than in other websites and books I have read. However the whole of it is clearly written, and almost all the recipes sounded like I would both enjoy cooking and eating them. Many are so simple and fast that I would use them as weeknight meals without any pre prepping required. I can’t wait to get home from vacation and try them- especially the smoothie recipes, the chocolate granol

SO HELPFUL AND USEFUL!
I like how each "recipe" is really how to efficiently cook/prep everything at once. I haven't tried any of her suggestions yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Only downside: the actual book didn't really start until a third of the way in. The first third is just helpful tips like "it's important to have a bowl so you can mix things inside of it."

But aside from that -- flip to about a third of the way in and get to ready to learn something. ...more

Quick to read with accessible recipes, this is a handy cookbook to have. It lays out the basics of meal prep as well as a crash course primer on grocery shopping (which this helpless millennial appreciated), and outlined a meal plan for not one but four different eating styles - low carb, vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy free. I actually learned something from this cookbook, and feel inspired to try some new things.

This was OK. It's another average meal prep/cookbook out there to have as another resource. The photos were great--vibrant and colorful and made me want to make a recipes from the book.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my unbiased review.
Really like the layout of the book, it's simplicity, and the recipes. I like the focus on the healthy aspect of batch cooking. I felt inspired to cook and meal plan. With that said, I would have liked a little more prep/planning assistance listed for each recipe and not so generally at the beginning of the book. ...more

Meal preparation might seem like a challenge, but this book helps you prepare several meals and snacks in advance. Batch cooking made easy. A lot of lean, healthy recipes that I wouldn't have thought of on my own.

Thank you Quarto Publishing for a copy of The Visual Guide to Easy Meal Prep for review. Available August 6/19.
Lots of easy to follow information for beginners to meal prep, like me. Plenty of easy recipes as well but I really appreciated the walk through of what to prep and why meal prep works. Tips and tricks along the way will save plenty of time along the way.

The book THE VISUAL GUIDE TO EASY MEAL PREP is presented in a visually appealing way in five chapters. Prepping is the action or process of preparing something, or preparing for something. The author’s choice of the word PREP in the title of the book makes it crisp and clear. By going through this book the reader will obviously consider cooking as an art as well as a happy exercise. ”Food is the most primitive form of comfort” – Sheila Graham. With this book in hand, comfort is not so far.

Things I liked:
The inclusion some vegetarian options and recipes (because I am one)
It would be fairly simple to swap in a recipe or two of your own into the plan
3 meals and 2 snacks a day and she says you’ll likely lose weight
Variations for gluten free or dairy free
Healthy
Home cooked is way better tasting than fast food
I think there is great variety in the recipes - some Mexican, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Thai, dessert, soups, wraps, beef, fish, chicken, vegetarian, pastas, salads, stir fri ...more

As a time poor and culinary challenged human I requested this book hoping it would reveal some tricks/tip to help me along or at least point me in the right direction. I am inclined to overthink things so it was a relief to learn there were only five steps to meal preparation.

I am giving this cookbook 3 stars because of the easy factor of making the recipes and the fact that there aren't a ton of ingredients needed. Those are big pluses for me.
I read this as an ebook and frankly almost 200 pages on "prep" including dozens of pages on types of containers etc. was mind boggling. Anyone needing 200 pages on how to get organized in the kitchen to slap together a few quick bites into non-bpa Tupperware containers has no business even making a sandwich let alone meals for ...more

Finally, a book that teaches how to achieve eating healthy dinners, instead of just having recipes.
In this book, the author shows the reader how to prep meals ahead of time so that eating healthy doesn’t become a chore and set aside. Prepping meals, according to the author, has amazing benefits, such as “you will regain hours in your day … You will eliminate the need to multitask as you prepare lunch or dinner” and “You’ll be present with the people around you.”
