Supercharge Your Packed Lunch

Life’s too short for sweaty sandwiches: here’s how to make your lunch the highlight of your day

01 CLING FILM IS THE ENEMY

“Don’t wrap your sandwich in cling film, it will make it sweaty. Instead, wrap it in parchment paper, which will give it a deli feel and let the air circulate. You can bring your sarnie to work in a Tupperware box, but I prefer a sturdy paper bag – again, it lets the sandwich breathe.”

02 FEELING SAUCY?

“I know it’s obvious, but I love mayonnaise, especially alioli, which is the really garlicky variety. You should always use butter on your sandwiches as it not only adds flavour and texture, but stops it going soggy. Another great addition is onions in balsamic vinegar – just chop them up and they’ll add a sturdy base to your sandwich. Finally, mustard: you can’t go wrong with the wholegrain variety by Pommery.”
