What inspired you to

write a coo kboo k centered

around lunchtime?

The book really came about from

trying to À nd a middle ground between

sad desk lunches and expensive or

unhealthy takeout. I didn’t see anything

out there that bridged that gap. I

kept hearing from friends, family,

and readers that lunch is a hard meal

to À gure out and get excited about,

and one that’s the most challenging

to schedule time to cook for. I needed

tasty, beautiful, nourishing, adult-

appropriate lunches that could be

enjoyed both at home and packed up

for work, which is the reality for me

and my partner, so that’s a lot of what I

was looking to have the book speak to.

With nothing out there that appealed to

contemporary schedules, palates, and

dietary preferences, I knew home cooks

were ready to experience a reimagined

take on the midday meal—and make it

the star of their day.
