The Lunch Hour: 50 Lunch Recipes That Make the Middle of the Day Something to Look Forward To

Lunch is the most underestimated meal of the day. This book is here to change that.



While breakfast gets the motivational speeches and dinner gets the candles, lunch — the meal that determines whether your afternoon is sharp or foggy, productive or a fog — gets a sad desk sandwich and a bag of crisps. Not anymore.

The Lunch Hour brings together 50 carefully crafted lunch recipes across five irresistible chapters, designed for every kind of midday moment you will ever have.

Inside you will find Quick Desk Lunches ready in under 20 minutes that travel better than anything from a café. Hearty Soups & Stews that warm you from the inside out and reheat beautifully all week. Satisfying Salads — real salads, with substance, protein, and dressings worth eating by the spoonful. Global Street Food from Vietnam, Korea, Mexico, Argentina, and Thailand, all made with accessible ingredients in your own kitchen. And a full chapter of Meal-Prep Lunch Bowls designed to be made once on Sunday and enjoyed without effort Monday through Friday.

No obscure ingredients. No specialist equipment. No recipes that take longer than your actual lunch break.

50 recipes. 5 chapters. One book that finally gives lunch the attention it deserves.
