Dinner in 30 Minutes: Schedule

Posted by kathryn in Nutrition

If cooking is a chore and you’re bored with what you’re making, then you need some new ideas. Dinner in 30 Minutes is a series of 30 minute lunch-time cooking classes, where you learn how to make one new recipe. A dish which is healthy, easy, delicious and which can be cooked in under thirty minutes.

Each session includes a cooking demonstration, take-home recipe sheet and (of course) tasting the dish. The classes cost $10 and bookings are essential, as spaces are limited.

August 26 12.30 – 1.00pm – North African Chicken

This is a flavour packed dish which can be made in one pan, keeps really well overnight in the fridge and can also be frozen. The chicken is cooked in a rich, spiced, and vegetable spiked tomato sauce and yes it can be made in less than 30 minutes. An easy vegetarian variation will also be discussed.

September 30 12.30 – 1.00pm – Spring Vegetable & Lentil Pasta

A beautiful dairy-free pasta dish, flavoured with fresh mint, capers and lemon. It includes plenty of vegetables and a good serving of protein, from the lentils. It is more work than opening a jar of supermarket-bought sauce, but not a lot more. But it is so much more nutritious and healthy than a jar of sauce. I’ve kept the vegetable chopping to a minimum and the sauce cooks while the pasta is boiling.

October 28 12.30 – 1.00pm – Spiced Lamb Balls with Couscous

Fragrant and spicy lamb balls, which are easy to put together and take only about 10 minutes to cook. Plus there are several different ways you can vary this meal, to suit your appetite and tastebuds. In this session I’ll be demonstrating how to make the basic lamb balls and showing you how to make them into a number of different meals.

November 25 12.30 – 1.00pm – Fish Cakes with Ginger and Coriander

These Thai-esque fish cakes are easy to make and a delicious, useful and flexible food. You can have them with salad or rice and a pile of stir-fried vegetables. Alternatively if you’re after some pre-dinner nibbles or a light entree for a dinner party, these would be great served with a sweet and hot chilli sauce. I’ll also be showing you how to make a Hot and Tart Cucumber Salad to accompany the fish cakes.
