About Lunch recipes
24 midday recipes that travel: sandwiches and panini, wraps, sushi burritos, noodle salads and grain bowls. The sandwich shelf is the deepest — French onion grilled cheese, eggplant banh mi, cucumber and chickpea with lemon hummus.
The organising idea is that a packed lunch should still be worth eating at one o’clock: dressings kept separate, sturdy greens instead of leaves that wilt by noon, and enough protein from chickpeas, mozzarella or hummus to get you through to dinner.
The practical notes are the same across the shelf: let cooked fillings cool before they meet bread, pack wet components separately, and choose a container that will not leak on the walk. Most are made in under 45 minutes and travel without drama.
