Do you remember what lunch was like before March 2020? It was about exploring restaurants near the office or sharing food with colleagues in a buzzing cafeteria. Then, the world changed. Like many of you, I swapped lively office chats for quiet Zoom calls and started teleworking full-time.
Suddenly, lunch felt a little lonely. I realized I couldn’t be the only one missing that midday connection. So, in July 2020, I launched this site to spice things up. What started as a side dish of recipes has grown into a full-course meal of stories, flavors, and management tips.
For me, lunch has always been about community. Growing up in Chomedey, Laval, Saturdays were special. My friend Stephen and I would catch a movie at the Loew’s and then treat ourselves to the classics: Woolworth’s Lunch Counter, the Eaton’s Ninth Floor, Howard Johnson’s or our favorite—Murray’s Restaurant.
That nostalgia drives The Lunch Pro today. I want to bring that “diner happiness” into your home kitchen.
Lunch isn’t one-size-fits-all. I created this site to help three specific types of lunchers:
The Busy Family: You need simple at-home prep hacks and mindfulness tips to refresh your routine.
The Social Diner: You are looking for crowd-pleasing, healthful recipes for family dinners, backyard picnics, and potlucks.
Nostalgic favorites and comfort bowls with a healthier twist. Clear steps, make-ahead tips, and easy swaps.
Not forgetting, DESSERTS!
No more the diet you follow we have recipes, hints and guides to make your meals and snacks enjoyable with little or no sacrifice.
We take the recipes from before and turn them in to the delights for today. Adapting for today’s lifestyle tools and ingredients.
