Batch Cook

Spending a little time batch cooking when you have some free time can be a real life-saver down the line, when time and energy might be sparse. You can be your own future hero by choosing from loads of delicious, satisfying and healthy make-ahead meals that you can freeze and enjoy later – simply defrost and reheat when you’re ready to eat.

Whether you’re stocking up the freezer for busy weeks, saving leftovers for lunch boxes or prepping in advance for stress free dinners, these make ahead recipes are here to help.

From comforting slow cooker classics like Slow Cooker Chilli Con Carne and rich Slow Cooker Pulled Pork to flavour packed freezer-friendly meals such as Cottage Pie and Meal Prep Breakfast Muffins, there’s plenty to choose from.

And if you’re after more plant based batch options, my vegetarian slow cooker recipes have you covered with family favourites like Vegetarian Slow Cooker Chilli and Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Stew to more hearty, wholesome dishes that freeze beautifully.

Lots of recipes for Batch Cooking ideas to help you cook ahead of time.
