Easy Meal Prep features straightforward steps to make meal prep easier, plus a good range of different recipes suitable for different diets. All in a sleek style with mouthwateringly pretty pictures.

What I, as someone who already meal preps. mostly enjoyed were the “pro prep tips” included in some of the recipes, and the instructions on how and how long to store the prepped food.

This book is well suited to beginners to meal prepping. It has all the info you need to get started. It is especially valuable to those with different dietary restrictions.

While the dietary restrictions are evident in the various meal prep plans, it would be good if you could see at a glance if a recipe is high-protein, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, or low-carb on the recipe's page itself and possibly in the index. This could be easily achieved with colour coding or small icons.

This is a good guide for people who are just starting out in the world of meal prep. I don't know that there is a lot here for people who have already done much cooking. This is a book where it is going to be important to put this in the hands of the correct audience.

It has some basic stuff inside but nothing that you can’t easily find on the internet. Was expecting a little bit of a different approach.

Amazing meal prep book. It gives you info on best containers to use, tasty recipes, and different dietary needs. It has everything from breakfast to snacks. I recommend this book as a great intro to meal prepping or for seasoned preppers.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.

In the past two years, I have become even more comfortable in the kitchen, but haven't elevated my game to meal prepping. I loved how this book was laid out to talk through the basics of meal prepping and how to put in a few good hours to help save time throughout the week. Then to include recipes where these meal prep tips can be put into place was so great. This is a book that I am glad I got to read and review ahead of time, but hope to add to my kitchen library for easy reference.

Great intro into meal planning. Would like to have seen more swap-ability, diversity, and bento box style planning. Fine for eaters with no dietary restrictions.

As someone who meal preps lunches for the week, I was looking forward to reading the recipes in this book. The breakfast recipes and dessert recipes are definitely recipes that I can see using for meal prep, but the main course recipes are tougher for that purpose. I try to avoid any fish in meal prep. I would have enjoyed more things like soups, salads, or pasta dishes.

This is a must have for your recipe collections. It is filled with so many great tips and advice to make meal prep easy, simple and also yummy.

I really appreciated the layout of this book, including the cohesive meal plan per dietary preference at the start of the book. The visual of the meals all mapped out made this really easy to digest and then swap in some different recipes that made more sense for me.

The snacks and sides section was my personal favorite!

So many great recipes! I wish this book had more ideas in the actual prep process as that’s what I struggle with! It does give you an idea of what kind of Tupperware you’ll want/need which is great.

I try to meal prep each week. Easy Meal Prep has new recipes that were so easy to make. I loved getting new ideas that were different from my normal recipes. The recipes were easy to read and easy to make. I loved that the book included a lot of detail on the food preparation. Overall it was a great book and one that I would recommend to my adult children.

Overall I enjoyed this meal prep recipe book. The recipes are pretty simple, but can be very flavorful. I liked that they’re every day kind of recipes and will help me out for food prepping more.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this early copy of Easy Meal Prep.

Easy Meal Prep is a fantastic title for a book, because who wouldn't be drawn to it? I certainly was. But with any book like this, the temptation is too great to go straight to the recipes and see if there is anything you'd actually like to cook. In that respect, I thought it was pretty good, but perhaps best for newer and younger cooks. Ditto for the food prep suggestions. Nonetheless, this is a handy reference book that would make a nice gift for someone just moving into a first home or apartment.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. I certainly was eager to take a look!

Easy Meal Prep provides a wide range of fairly simple meal ideas that could help change things up for food preppers. The introduction portion is a bit visually dense, but that's not uncommon. The recipes are easy to follow, however. I feel like I always want more photos in cookbooks, but this one does have many.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group - Rocky Point and NetGalley for an eARC of this cookbook for an honest review.

These are simple easy recipes for meal prepping, definitely something for everyone. I think the most valuable part of the book is the sample weekly plans with the cooking instructions listed in one place. It would be even better with more!

This book offers an abundance of information and tips to help anyone successfully meal prep for the week. She begins with a list of tasks to do before you start (gather containers, plan, shop, etc.), and then moved into actual prep. Romeo provides a variety of meal plans, so whether you're eating high protein, low carb, vegan, or something in between, it's very likely there is something here for you. You won't find any super exciting recipes here, but what you will find are simple, straightforward recipes with accesible ingredients, clear instructions, and attractive pictures. I think this book does a great job of accomplishing what it set out to do.

The cover, though! Ah! I love books like this. Clear, to the point, colorful, and helpful! Romeo has done it all. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. This is going to help me get out of my food slump!
