When I saw that the book was addressing so many diet plans, I thought there was no way that they would be able to meet the needs of all those folks--dairy free, gluten free, high protein, vegetarian, etc. I was pleasantly surprised! By keeping it simple and providing a sample week with repeating dishes Romeo is able to provide a starting point for anyone wanting to start meal prepping, including family dinners, packed lunches for commuters, grab and go snacks and breakfasts. Recipes don't include macros but are based on whole foods and would be easy enough to calculate. Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point for a digital review copy.

This book has easy to follow instructions and is so well organized. I’ve struggled with meal prep books feeling disorganized so this was a huge relief to me. I love the inclusion of dairy-free, high protein, vegetarian, low-carb, and gluten free diets!! They recipes look so delicious, I can’t cook all of them right now, but I’m definitely starting with the pesto tilapia!!

I’ve been trying to find a way to make meal prep not terrifying and I think Erin Romeo hit the spot for me!! As I said before the organization of this makes so much more sense to me than books I’ve read previously. While reading through it, every time I had a question, it was answered or the answer was extremely easy to find in no time!

For more detail on how the organization worked better for me, the meal plans were all in one place, and after that ALL the recipes were listed together. The last book I read had a meal plan, then all the recipes for that plan, then another meal plan, then those recipes, and that might work better for someone else, but Erin’s organization is top-tier for me!!!!

Thank you for writing this!!!

I absolutely loved this beginner's guide to meal prepping! It was incredibly easy to follow, making the concepts approachable for someone just starting. I gained valuable insights into batch cooking, organising meals for the week, and planning grocery lists efficiently. The tips and techniques shared in the guide have inspired me to take the plunge into meal prepping.

I’m genuinely excited to put these new skills into practice and transform how I approach cooking and nutrition. Once the paper copy is released, I plan to purchase it so I can refer back to it whenever I need it.

I’m also eager to share this resource with my friends and family to help them simplify their meal planning too!

I enjoyed flipping through this! There was nothing that I found super profound or new, but lots of great reminders about best practice less for grocery shopping and checking nutrition labels. Given the emphasis of some foods as part of “low carb” or “high protein” plans, it would have been helpful to see the breakdown of macros per serving for the recipes. Overall pretty solid!

Great meal prep recipes and advice. Recipes are full of heathy foods made with common pantry ingredients. Book layout is attractive and easy to follow.

This book can be a great time saver for people who are organized - or who want to learn to be. And she provides healthy recipes that can be prepared ahead of time.

The author begins with some help on how to get started. You're going to need some sort of containers to store your food. what do you have on hand and what should you acquire? Glass or plastic? She's even provided some meal plans for special needs, including a High Protein Plan, a Gluten-Free Plan, a Dairy Free Plan, a Vegetarian Plan, and a Low Carb Plan with options from the provided recipes for Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, and Dinner.

She provides recipes for make ahead breakfast meals that I wouldn't have thought of, including omelets and breakfast sandwiches. Likewise for main meals and snacks.

However, for me, this book isn't terribly helpful. I'd actually make only a few of the recipes, and I'd like more instruction on how to plan multiple meals and prep for those.

Very amazing cookbooks, lots of tips to an easy meal prep, well written and a lots of good recipes, i've tried a few and it's definetely kids approved!

I will check out other cookbooks by this author

This is a user-friendly guide with over 75 recipes designed to make meal prepping easier for beginners, focusing on healthy, time-saving meals. While the book offers accessible instructions and creative ideas, it could benefit from including nutritional info and macro breakdowns, though the snack and sides section is a standout for me.

This book was made for me! There are so many meal plans with recipes that the average chef/cook can master. Easy to follow instructions and lots of pointers and tips to help the newbie in us. I highly recommend this Easy Meal Prep book for all of us wanting to venture into meal planning and prepping.

Thank you!! #NetGalley #EasyMealPrep

I LOVE this book! Easy meal prep is just what a stay at home mom of 8 kids needs. And to be honest the front cover of the book had me before I even read the title! I have to have a well organized fridge and this book helps with food and makes planning and prepping a dream.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Summary: "Easy Meal Prep" by Erin Romeo offers practical guidance and over 75 recipes to help you efficiently plan, prep, and enjoy healthy meals tailored to various dietary needs.

My review: Erin Romeo’s Easy Meal Prep is a practical and visually appealing guide designed to simplify the process of planning and preparing meals for the week. Featuring straightforward steps, the book provides a solid foundation for beginners who are new to meal prepping. While the book doesn’t break much new ground for seasoned meal preppers, it compensates with accessible instructions and creative recipe ideas. I wish that it had included nutritional information and macro breakdowns as most meal preppers do count calories and/or macros. The snacks and sides section was my personal favorite. Some standout recipes for me to try: Berry Vanilla High-Protein Pancakes, Chocolate Raspberry Breakfast Quinoa, Thai Bowls with Peanut Sauce, Roasted Vegetables and Chicken Wrap, Savory Rice and Beans (although, I'd add sausage to it!), and roasted Chickpeas.

Easy Meal Prep: Save Time and Eat Healthy with over 75 Recipes by Erin Romeo is scheduled for publication on January 14, 2025, by Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point.

I liked that the author provided different meal plans for different types of dietary needs and gave recipes for the meals included. My only wish is that she provided more variety in her meals.

Such a great and practical cookbook! It is very visually appealing and I love the way it is organized. The meal plans accommodating several different diets is great. The instructions are clear and concise. I really appreciate the inclusion of extra tips and suggestions.

3* - generally enjoyable.

I recommend this for meal prep beginners to intermediate, as the book steps you through what meal prep is and how to do it, but also has some interesting recipes if you are looking for some variety or inspiration. There are sample meal plans with complete order of operation for how to make all of the meals in one session, which I loved.

ARC copy received via netgalley, thank you to the publisher.

I really loved this book! I loved that the author included meal plans for a variety of different diets and plans, and then provided all the recipes in the book as well. For anyone like me who struggles to meal plan or cook - this book is going to be a godsend!

I liked the variety of vegetarian and vegan recipes within this book. This was refreshing as even though vegetarian food/recipes are easier to access nowadays most recipes I have read elsewhere don't offer much variety.
I appreciate that they recipes also tell you how long they can be stored in the freezer and how to cook them once they have been frozen. The recipes also sound quite healthy and that you're not having to 'eat rubbish' for the sake of convenience.

Really liked the aesthetic of the book and the pictures are making me salivating.
The book is really well though with prep meal with different diet in mind which i really appreciated. I also really liked how the book was separated by type of food with the full recipe and not just per week. Also really thoughful to add the dip and condiment recipe.
Really excited to try some of the recipes and to meal prep according to this book!

This book is so aesthetically pleasing I love the neutral colours and it has a perfect layout. The pictures are lovely too

There are instructions on how to meal prep which are informative and easy to follow and it follows with lovely recipes that I can't wait to try!

As someone who's just started to care for themselves and cook on their own, I'm glad I found this at the right time. Finding time to cook healthy meals is a difficult task, and the idea of meal prepping might just help me manage. The steps are comprehensively explained, and I like that the author put gram measurements as well. On top of that, as a vegetarian, I appreciate the various veggie recipes and am excited to try a few of them out soon! The dips/dressing/sauces section is also very helpful (especially for people like me, who love a good dressing or dip but never quite know how to make them) and enables a lot of possibilities to enhance meals! I also want to add that I like the design, it's intelligible and simple, displaying what you need to know.

I'll absolutely recommend this to any of my newly adult friends struggling to maintain a healthy diet because they just can't find the time to cook, and I'll definitely make zucchini noodles soon.

Nice book. Lots of great ideas. I know I’ll be making some of these recipes. Lots of useful info. This book would make an excellent gift.
