  • ​The less you have to do to put a meal together the better
  • Whether you’re time-strapped or have no inclination to cook, you often struggle with what to put together for a meal
  • Recipes with too many ingredients and steps overwhelm you and you’re unsure of terms such as the difference between “chopped”, “diced” and “minced”.
  • You’d like to eat more healthy and you enjoy a variety of foods, but your lack of skills in the kitchen stress you out at the end of the day, so you resort to the tried and tested…take out, dine out, pre-packaged meal from the freezer or a box that let's you “just add water” to serve.
