Spending hours in the kitchen to enjoy yourself is not an obligation! With the right recipes, the right cooking, and the associated tips, you can do wonders in 30 minutes, not one more.
Comfort in the heart of winter
Cheeses, spices, breading, everything is good to enjoy when it’s cold. If melted cheese recipes remain a must of the moment – raclette, tartiflette, and fondue at the head of the queue – these are not the only flavors of the season. Winter vegetables, infinitely adaptable, offer an ideal playground for gourmands fond of vitamins. Beet ; carrot ; celery; mushrooms ; cabbage ; squash; endives; spinach ; leeks; or parsnips, can be transformed into puree, pan-fried, or winter pizza.
All-in-one dishes
When you want to save time in the kitchen, nothing beats all-in-one winter family meals! Whether you prefer gratins, winter shepherd’s pie, winter quiches and savory tarts, or stews, complete dishes are a good choice. Bringing together animal or vegetable proteins, cereals, vegetables, legumes, or seeds in the same dish, they allow you to stock up on vitamins, dietary fiber, and trace elements. Ingredients essential for the proper functioning of the human body.
Winter soups can also easily be transformed into a complete dish thanks to the inclusion of chickpeas, noodles, or tofu cubes. Thus, vegetables, cereals, legumes, and proteins come together in one and the same dish. The advantage is that you can first prepare a vegetable soup before adding snacked chicken, for example. Also think about batch cooking, and don’t prepare a recipe for just one meal. Lengthen the dosages, and the following days, transform your soup into another dish thanks to the integration of proteins, toasted seeds, sheep’s yogurt, or poached egg.
