Our cookbook of the week is Modern Lunch by Allison Day, creator of the award-winning food blog Yummy Beet. Whether fresh from the oven, as a room temperature al fresco option or chilled, straight from the fridge, Allison Day’s rustic spelt quiche works any which way. More robust than your standard quiche (she describes it as a “modern interpretation of a quiche”; akin to a vegetable tart), it’s an ideal packable lunch option. Make ahead: Skip the last-minute brunch preparation, and the last-minute mess and bake your quiche ahead of time. Serves: 4 as a main or 6 as a sideExcerpted from Modern Lunch: +100 Recipes for Assembling the New Midday Meal by Allison Day.
