Quick recipes FAQs

Which is the easiest dish to cook?

This is a matter of opinion. Omelettes are considered to be easy, but they require attention when mixing the eggs together. Burgers, pasta dishes and stews are often more forgiving among novice cooks to get right, and many are quite quick to prepare as well.

How to make food in 5 minutes?

For a five-minute meal, try cheese on toast. Place bread in the toaster, cut some cheese into slices, then butter the toast. Put the cheese on top and grill it for a couple of minutes. What could be quicker?

What is a simple meal?

Beans on toast is a simple meal and a quick recipe, but it is hardly inspiring. Adding some mixed spice and grating cheese over the top will make even a simple meal like that more interesting. More widely, simple meals cut down on prep time because they have a few ingredients only, such as many meat and two-veg recipes.

Can I order quick recipes with a HelloFresh recipe box?
