Batch Cooking and Freezer Meals for Busy People

Dinner arrives at the worst possible moment: after a long day, with an empty head and a hungry household. This book moves the work to one planned session so that weeknights take minutes instead of hours. You will learn how to organise a cooking day, cool food quickly, freeze at the right temperature, thaw in the fridge or cold water, and reheat everything to a safe 74 C (165 F). Sixteen full recipes give exact quantities, times and numbered steps, from lentil soup and beef stew to baked pasta, meatballs, curry, chili and make-ahead breakfasts. Clear guidance on single portions, containers, labels, a four-week rotation and fixes for soggy or dry results helps you build a freezer you can trust and a routine that lasts.
