TASTE Loadshedding Cookbook - Special Edition

I dette nummeret

This cookbook is designed to help you navigate loadshedding with smart cooking strategies in five chapters: Fast, Easy Assembly, One-Pan Cooking, Prep Ahead and Braai. The Fast chapter includes meals you can have on the table in under 30 minutes (and they don’t all require pasta). Easy Assembly, the reluctant cook’s strategy, includes meals that can be assembled using Woolies’ freezer and pantry staples, with or without prepared products. One-Pan Cooking champions minimal components – and limited washing up. Get all your ingredients into the pot/pan ready to go into the oven the minute the power comes on. Prep Ahead is ideal for the planner and involves prepping or cooking parts of your dish in advance using tools such as a Wonderbag or a slow-cooker. These recipes are ideal for batch-cooking – double-up on a stew or braise two chickens instead of one – and you can freeze or reheat the leftovers for your next powerless meal. And, finally, the art of the loadshedding braai. Yes, it is possible if you light the fire as soon as you get home. Most of our braai recipes can also be cooked on a gas stove or burner, but who doesn’t love an excuse for a braai as the weather gets warmer?
