Learning how to become a master of speed cooking is a lifesaver when you lead a busy life. Maybe you’ve had a long day at work or you have kids that need feeding but you don’t want to default to fast food or microwaved meals, speed cooking comes to the rescue. Here, we share some tips to fast track your kitchen skills. Firstly, prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking. Nothing slows you down more than having to stop and chop veggies or defrost meat halfway through your recipe. Secondly, clean as you go – this will save you time after your meal when you’re likely tired and, let’s be honest, it’s easier to enjoy your meal when you’re not staring at a pile of dirty dishes. Finally, invest in some quality kitchen gadgets. A good food processor or hand blender can dramatically reduce your preparation time.
Planning meals ahead of time is also a great way to squeeze cooking into your tight schedule. To help you out, here are some quick and simple recipes that are perfect for those busy days. For breakfast, try the 3-minute creamy oatmeal; for lunch, a classic Chicken Caesar Salad is both filling and quick to prepare; for dinner you’d love the 20-minute spaghetti carbonara; and for dessert, an oven-baked peaches with cinnamon are ready in just 15 minutes.
