James Beard Award-winner Meike Peters (Eat in My Kitchen) is a trusted source for beautiful and accessible meals. In Noon, she focuses on the often-underappreciated midday meal. And why shouldn't lunch get star treatment? Whether you have access to a full kitchen or need meals that travel and reheat well, these elevated sandwiches, salads, and more will be sure to satisfy.
Peters combines a bold and creative palate with a keen artistry behind the camera to offer a lovely collection of 115 recipes, each more impressive than the last. With thin matte pages, Noon is a pleasing book in hand, and offerings like Roasted Eggplant and Bacon Sandwich with Butter Bean-Basil Pesto will transport readers before they ever start to cook. --Sara Beth West, freelance reviewer and librarian
