This book is just for you... You might be part of the nearly 8
million people in the UK that live by themselves or the countless
other people who, at the very least, simply cook for themselves. -
You might be fresh out of university and just starting your career.
- You might live in a shared house with others but you still cook
for yourself. - You might be at the other end of the scale and find
yourself cooking for yourself again for the first time in a long
time. - You might be a single parent who eats at a different time
(and maybe wants to eat different food?!) to your kids and you want
something different rather than reheated leftovers day after day.
Whoever you are we have had you in our minds while writing this
book. There is a real range of scenarios you might all find
yourselves in but here are the things we have tried to stick to
throughout this book which make this book perfect for one: for you.

create food that you actually want to eat. Fancy a full English on
toast or breakfast-stuffed croissants after a heavy night? Need
something comforting for dinner like the ultimate carbonara or a
colcannon-topped baked potato? Perhaps you want something easy but
filling to see you through all those hours at the library, like a
best-ever turkey club sandwich or a Mexican black rice bowl. Or
maybe you have friends coming over and want to show off your
cooking skills with spicy salami pizza sliders or pepper and
chorizo skewers. Whenever you need something SERIOUSLY GOOD to eat,
this book will make sure you never go hungry. From fresher's week
to graduation, this is the only cookbook you'll ever need.

We've all spent a little more time at home recently and this has
meant we've a new-found appreciation for what lunch represents to
us: a break, excitement, something that isn't typing emails or Zoom
meetings. Without the crutch of highstreet chains, we've had to
start fending for ourselves and this means endlessly trying to come
up with different, filling and nutritious meals for our family and
ourselves. But there are only so many great ideas about what you
can put between two slices of bread or do with an egg and a piece
of toast. Lunch is the best way to brighten your day, but it
involves a level of imagination we don't have the time for. This is
where Let's Do Lunch steps in. You can decide how much time you
want to dedicate to your lunch, then pick a straightforward,
satisfying meal and get cracking. At the heart of this book is this
lack of fuss. There will be no challenging techniques, hard-to-find
ingredients or decadent cooking times. Just quick, accessible and
clever recipes that will have you wondering how on earth you
managed to make something so delicious in so little time. The book
is filled with encouraging tips and tricks to help energise and
transform your cooking experience from something you have to do
into something you look forward to doing. All recipes are all light
on meat and fish, with the emphasis on fresh vegetables, grains,
cheese and nuts so you can feel energized right through to till
dinner. Ditch the al desko and make a ritual out of lunch again.
