Hello

I’m Susanne. I love food. I work from home. So, The Working Lunch seemed a good way to join the two.

Because lunch breaks are important. There is a reason why we have them. We need to take a break from work and nourish ourselves with some food.

Despite that, it can be all too tempting to grab a quick piece of toast on the fly, shovel in a bowl of cereal between Zoom calls, or rustle up a sandwich and eat al desko while reading emails.

Ready to love your lunch break? Join the club.

An important note about the recipes and lunch ideas

I’m sharing what I do and what I eat. Some work, and some don’t. Some recipes are linked from other areas of the internet. Some are merely ideas. I’m just someone that loves food.
