I need a bit of help with how best to express this please - it's from a marketing brochure about a new restaurant franchise concept and they are explaining the benefits of the proposition to potential franchisees. Basically, much of the food is already prepared and just needs heating or laying out...
"No requiere apenas manipulación culinaria"
Any ideas guys n gals (don't know why I've gone Jimmy Saville today, pero bueno - LOL)

any further elaboration in food
elaboration is nearer to the meaning of manipulatiòn in Spanish and it carries the sense of using hands or further ingredients in food; moreover the term further suggests the idea that meal is, on the contrary, ready yet!
