Chef's notes

The quick-cooking cupboard

Keep rice, pasta, lentils, canned tomatoes, onions, garlic, eggs and cheese in stock — they cover most dishes on this list.

Chop first, cook second

Prep everything before the heat goes on. Quick cooking gets quicker when you never stop halfway to chop an onion.
