4 in 1 Challenge (with photo)

[farfallina]

I love All in One Recipes. Some days back I thought if it would be possible to cook 4 dishes at the same time. I wanted to see my limits. This is how I came up with this recipe.

The dishes in this recipe are not completely related with each other. I mean it is not like we steam some meat in Varoma and cook its sauce in TM Bowl. In other words, they can be cooked separately in different times. What I wanted to see was if a 4-in-1 recipe would be possible.

It would be perfect if I could make also the dessert at the same time but... this is all I can.. for now!


The list of the dishes in this recipe:

Tomato Soup with Roquefort Cheese Sauce
Herby Chicken
Chard with Onion
Tomato Pilaf


It might look difficult judging from the length of the post but it is very easy
