Or to be precise, meals in 20 minutes or under. For those occasions when you just don't have the time (or energy).   No marinating, chilling or cooling - just a straight 20 minutes . . . . or less . . . . . from start to finish.  And with many fresh  vegetables only taking a few minutes to cook, you can have a complete, balanced, freshly cooked  meal ... in minutes!

 

We also have a wonderful section which will help you to plan your weekday menus in advance which also features complete menus which can be prepared in less than 45 minutes.
