You can learn how to cook a week's or even two weeks' worth of nutritious, flavour-packed, family-friendly meals in just a day, for freezing and reheating later, in Simple and Delicious Make-Ahead and Freeze Recipes.

Are the demands of work and family cutting into the time you have available for weekday cooking? Join the meal-prep revolution that is taking home kitchens by storm! By setting aside time on a Saturday or Sunday, you can prep anywhere from three or four to ten or fifteen make-ahead meals. But to be the best meal-prepper you can be, your most important tool is your freezerβ€”for the simple reason that food won't keep for long in the refrigerator. The more you freeze, the more meals you can make ahead. Find all the recipes, tips, and tricks you need for meal-prep success in Simple and Delicious Make-Ahead and Freeze Recipes.

Author Jessica Fisher, mum of six, lives the meal-prep lifestyle and distills her busy-mum-in-the-kitchen wisdom on her popular blog Good Cheap Eats. In this book, she reveals, in recipes not available on her blog, the tastiest, easiest-to-make, most money-saving, and, most importantly, most freezer-friendly recipes in her considerable arsenal. They include:

  • Potatoes Au Gratin with Ham and Gruyere
  • Lemon-Tarragon Fish Fillets
  • Sweet and Sour Teriyaki Chicken
  • Beef Taquitos Casserole-Style
  • Pasta Bake with Thyme and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  • Smoky Vegetarian Chili
  • Spiced Pumpkin Custards

Includes many more cost-saving recipes for incredible breakfasts, lunches, and dinners; meal-planning charts; advice on how to cook in batches in the least time possible; and helpful lists of freezer-storage dos and don'ts.

Take the stress out of weekday cooking with Simple and Delicious Make-Ahead and Freeze Recipes.
