Quick and easy recipes

Since a number of our recipes take quite a while to make, we thought it would be convenient to highlight our quick and easy recipes.

We have no single criterion for recipes to get this distinction, but in general they don't require huge numbers of ingredients, complicated cooking procedures, really long cooking times, or heaps of preparation. These are recipes that we think someone could make after coming home from work tired and hungry (assuming they had the ingredients on hand).

Here's the list of our current picks (V indicates vegetarian recipes, V* indicates vegan); check the recipe archive for updates.
