My quickest recipe is one from my childhood – cooked white rice (normally from the freezer and heated up), topped with a fried egg, and a splash of soy sauce. Perfect for those evenings when I can’t summon up any energy beyond frying an egg!

I have a quick nibbly ‘recipe’ that you can make when people arrive unexpectedly for a drink.
take a sheet of puff pastry, spread with pesto (i like to divide the sheet in half & use basil pesto on one half & sundried tomato on the other half). sprinkle with parmesan, fold and cut into palmiers and bake in hot oven.
everyone – even kids – loves these and they are so quick you can be chatting and pouring drinks while quickly whipping up a batch!

My quick meal is throw a steak on the grill for 3 minutes on each side. While the steak is on the grill. Whip up pepper sauce, with stock and peppercorn. And wash some salad. And that a delicious 10 minutes meal.

I just love making my “quick” minestrone – the time goes into to chopping, so lots of rough chopping of veges.

quickly fry some chopped leek in olive oil with bacon, add a couple of litres of vege stock, chopped carrot, celery, some white tinned beans and whatever elese tickles my fancy, a jar of tomato puree and maybe a tin of whole tomatoes and simmer til I want to eat it!
