Let's face it: even the most enthusiastic cooks can fall into a takeaway and delivery [1] rut during especially busy times. While transforming raw ingredients into a tasty meal is pretty magical, the post-meal cleanup can be enough of a deterrent to make cooking midweek, or between big events, seem impossible. If you've felt this way lately, a one-pot [2] or one-pan meal may be the answer. The secret of many a savvy cook, these minimal-cleanup meals are low on fuss and high on flavour. This collection of recipes is particularly geared toward busy weeks, as all of the recipes are both one-pot or -pan and take an hour or less to cook.
