Let’s be honest, lunch time at the office can be just as much of a battle of showmanship as the boardroom. People whip out all sorts of home made and store bought creations, and you’re always silently judging the person who brings that sad, soggy sandwich. Reheated winter food just doesn’t turn heads, and your butter chicken really wasn’t photogenic even when you’d just cooked it. We eat with our eyes people! And when the weather is grey outside, you want a pick me up to look forward to in the middle of the day.
