Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / book blurb
German term or phrase: locker gereicht
This is from the blurb for a comic self-help style book.

"Diese Pizza Orakel sollte in keinem gutsortierten Bücherregal fehlen. Es hilft im Vorfeld, den Blick für das Wesentliche zu schärfen. "Zeige mir, wie du deine Pizza isst, und ich weiß, wer du bist.
Fundierte Lebenshilfe, **locker gereicht**, klasse verpackt!
Noch nie war es so lecker, den richtigen Typ zu finden. "

At the moment I've got "casually presented" but I'm not sure if I'm on the right track. Thanks for any suggestions.
