veganlunchbox) has some news: her new cookbook, Vegan Lunch Box Around the World: 125 Easy, International Lunches Kids and Grown-Ups Will Love, is out now.
She also offered a heads up that the Laptop Lunches have come out with a re-design:
which omits the carrying case, which I've never used, and I'll also get the Bento Buddies, too. I've really liked my Laptop Lunchbox, and I'm pleased to see this upgrade. The lid on the smaller container will be really great. I believe they have a picture of one of the lunches I packed in that recipe book; it won their photo contest, and they said they were going to use it in the new edition of the recipe book.

"Check out the new Bento System 2.0 that came out this month from Laptop Lunches. The first thing you'll notice is the new carrying cases decorated with funky aliens or pretty pink flowers. But the case isn't what has me really excited...I'll probably buy this option:
Do you see it? Yes! One of the small-sized container comes with a LID! I've so wished for a lid to seal in smaller servings of applesauce, soft fruit, pudding, etc. I used to cover the small container with plastic wrap held in place with a rubber band if the item I was packing was a bit wet. Well, no more!
So we're all happy so far, right? But wait, there's more! You still haven't seen the best part...
Bento Buddies 2.0! This is a separate set of containers you can buy for this new system, and it features one giant container that takes the place of the two large containers!! Woo! The new system doesn't have that line going between the two spaces, so the new giant container fits right in there.
Do you have any idea how many times I have longed for something like this for the Laptop? It's the perfect size for a whole sandwich, or a good-sized salad, or for one large serving of any kind of main dish.
Unfortunately, there is a bit of bad news: these new containers won't fit in the original Laptop Lunch System, so you'll have to upgrade to 2.0 if you want the nifty new sizes and lids.
Right now I'm holding the new system up next to the original Laptop, and the new systems are also a bit larger than the original. They're not bigger by a whole lot, but it's enough that I can see fitting larger servings into this one."
