8 FILL YOUR FREEZER GET BATCH-COOKING

If you have kids, the schools reopening means you might have more time to spend in the kitchen – ideal for batch-cooking and freezing meals for when life gets busy. If you’re using a recipe, multiplying the amounts and freezing some for another time only takes a bit more effort and uses the same amount of energy. Plus, buying ingredients in bulk can offer better value. Visit bbcgoodfood.com for hundreds of batch-cook recipes, plus guides to batch-cooking for beginners and home freezing. Every month in the magazine you’ll find a recipe that can easily be doubled and frozen, too. See page 66 for this month’s comforting bangers & mash pie.
