The time starts when you take the food out and includes chopping. If a grain was cooked yesterday the dish is faster still — the site marks that as “already cooked”.

Find a quick dish →What can I make from eggs in 10 minutes?
An omelette with tomato, scrambled eggs with herbs, or toast with egg and avocado. Eggs take 5–7 minutes; the rest is chopping.
Can a quick meal still be filling?
Yes, if the protein needs no long cooking: tuna, eggs, cottage cheese, chickpeas or beans from a tin. Fullness comes from protein, not cooking time.
How do I make tomorrow faster?
Cook a double portion of the grain today. Tomorrow only the protein and the chopping are left — 7 to 10 minutes. That is exactly how the weekly menu here is built.
