Make-ahead meals to take the stress out of weekday meals and entertaining.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Over 90 illustrated recipes, from quick breakfasts to weeknight dinners and weekend dinner parties.

Life is hectic, and cooking can start to feel like one more chore on the list. Make-Ahead Meals solves that with tasty, simple, stress-free recipes that change the way you plan and cook through the week, so flavours have space to develop and you have space to actually enjoy the meal: think a beef shin ragΓΉ that improves overnight, or a bake that goes straight from the fridge to the oven.

With recipes for prepping, batching, and freezing meals in advance, this book covers everything from grab-and-go breakfasts to a whole roast chicken or slow-cooked lamb stew, all without compromising on fresh ingredients or flavour.

90+ Illustrated Recipes: organised by breakfast, weeknight dinners, and weekend entertaining
Prepping, Batching, and Freezing Techniques: for meals that taste freshly made
Part of the Meals Series: alongside Salad Meals, Soup Meals, Sheet Pan Meals, and One Pot Meals
