Top 5 Lockdown Lunch Recipes

Who remembers the days when we could ‘do lunch’, pop out for a Pret, or grab a sandwich from a nearby deli? For much of the nation now working at home, we’re doing whatever is quick and easy in between zoom calls, home schooling and our daily exercise. If you can all too well relate to that feeling of rushing around the kitchen, quickly eating whatever you find in order to simply sustain you for the next few hours of hard graft, then checkout our top lockdown lunch recipes!

We strongly believe that eating food that is better for you should not be at the expense of time or taste, so these recipes have been specially curated to make sure you get a hearty flavour and nutrition fix, even when you’re in a rush.
