This site is dedicated to quick and easy meals that cost very little to make, and don't take a lot of time to cook.  In today's society it is really easy to eat quickly and conveniently, but we don't always know what we are putting into our bodies, but a hectic lifestyle can mean that we simply don't have the time to cook a meal and sit with the family to eat and socialize.  I have worked in professional kitchens for most of my life, in one form or another, and have worked in different kinds of kitchens, with different types of dietary requirements, and have collected lots of idea's, some tried and tested, most of them successful.
