Description

An invitation to participate in the joy of sharing a meal and savoring fresh, seasonal, healthy food

Peter Miller and his colleagues make lunch every day at his bookshop in Seattle. It may be only a salad or a sandwich, but it is fresh, and they put it together each day without a formal kitchen. Lunch at the Shop is an account and a guide to this intentional practice. It shows how to elevate the lunch break from a hurried necessity to a celebrated meal, often involving thoughtfulness, conversation, and a shift in mindset from work.

The book includes more than fifty recipes and showcases both simple and more sophisticated techniques for home cooking. It offers suggestions for rejuvenating leftovers and upgrading simple lunches, as well as practical advice for stocking a simple work pantry.
