Some evenings cooking is simply something that has to be done. You get home late, the fridge is half empty and nobody fancies half an hour at the hob.

Everything on this page is on the table within 25 minutes, including the chopping and the tidying up along the way. These are not rushed dishes: a noodle stir-fry, a teriyaki bowl or fried eggs on toast are quick because they have few steps, not because something is missing. The time given is the time it took us, so allow a few minutes extra the first time you make something.
