About 15-Minute
These recipes are built for speed. They use quick-cooking foods like eggs, thin cuts of chicken, shrimp, pasta, tortillas and fresh vegetables. Most need only one or two steps on the stove, or no cooking at all.
What sets this group apart is the clock. Our 30-Minute recipes give you a bit more room, and Easy recipes focus on simple steps rather than speed. Here, the whole meal, from chopping to serving, fits in a short window.

Kitchen tips
- Read the whole recipe first and set out every ingredient before you turn on the heat.
- Cut food small and thin. It cooks faster.
- Start a pot of water boiling while you chop.
- Keep quick helpers on hand, like frozen vegetables, canned beans and pre-cooked rice.
- Use a large pan so food cooks evenly and does not steam.
