Women’s Weekly “After Work Fast”
Hi Everyone!
Well what a week it has been for me – how about you? I had to whip up a meal in double time after arriving home at 6pm so I went straight to the Women’s Weekly “After Work Fast”. Well, I haven’t used this book for a while and now wish I had used it more often. This is a great go to for fresh, quick and healthy food that you can have on the table in no time at all.
The name says it all. Orange & soy to me speaks of freshness and flavour but then you actually read the recipe and it has ginger, garlic and palm sugar and you know you’re on a winner. Pick up your salmon on the way home from work and prep the entire thing in 10 minutes. The cooking time depends on how you like your salmon cooked so I did mine for 17 mins in a 190°c oven because I like it cooked right through.
The smell is divine and the flavour is fresh, clean and light. Served on the gently steamed or microwaved buk choy and broccolini rounds this out to be a super meal for those watching the K’s (as we all are I might add). Next time I’m going to add asparagus and snow peas. After stressing about everyone coming for dinner an hour after I got home, to blissfully sipping wine and enjoying the company is what this recipe will do for you. What’s more is got 10/10.
Hmmm, what did I hint about watching the K’s? This delightful Mango Galette takes 10 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook. As with the main, it was super easy and absolutely no stress involved. The mangos are at the end of their season, but you could use pears or even apples for this.
I think it’s a case of whatever you may have in the fridge or the fruit bowl. I didn’t have coconut flavoured liquor and wasn’t going to go out and buy some so just used one of my favourites which went well with the cream and the coconut.
Everyone was very impressed and it received 9/10.
I’ll definitely be using recipes from this cookbook again and I hope those of you who suffer the stress of racing home from work to cook a meal for the family give it a go too.
Until next week,
From my table to yours with love x
