30 min meals

[undertherazor]

Has anyone tried making Oliver's 30 min meals and if so did you manage to make them within 30 min ??

Yes, tried them, no took ages!

If you prepare everything before and have it to hand you might just about do it!

Try doing a bit more wazzing and less boshing.

Think my best was about 40 mins, but that was without the desert! 2 hours to tidy up though.

I've tried a few of his 15 minute meals - all were well over time even excluding the seemingly obligatory salad that makes up part of the meal. IIRC he acknowledges that preparation time is excluded from those 15/30 minutes.

Me neither - took much longer than stated but food is good enough - we use the Jamie does America book a lot and theres some great stuff to try in there also, simple but tasty stuff. Cooking at home makes me dislike normal pub grub for sure bland and shite!

I'm a few minutes from a fish and chip shop.

When I offer to do the catering I can provide a meal within 30 minutes. No problem.
