This book is a truly a call to honor ourselves by stopping for lunch. Not a long lunch, and not a lunch out. Peter describes ways to stop and eat homemade food, and to make it a ritual and opportunity for connecting with your community of co-workers. He describes his daily lunch in his office with his co-workers. Their focus on coming together for lunch is incredibly brief each day, but packed with ritual, connection, and sustains them as community.
Peter owns the shop Peter Miller in Seattle. His leadership to make everyone pause for a connection and healthy food has had a profound impact on the culture of his business.
He gives step by step instructions to be intentional and truly thoughtful about each part of the lunch, focusing on simplicity, connecting to those nearest to you, committed to touching the senses, and making the experience worthwhile.
As I continue to recover from workaholism, and set boundaries, I am learning to make soups and inviting people to enjoy lunch with me.
I encourage you to find a way to hold boundaries around eating a healthy lunch each day and sharing it with others.
