Batch cooking: cook once, eat all week

Batch cooking consists of cooking all the main dishes you will consume during the week in a single weekly session. This technique not only saves time but also helps you eat healthier and avoid waste. It is ideal for those who have little time during the week but do not want to give up homemade meals.

1. Plan a balanced weekly menu.

1. Choose recipes that store well.

1. Shop with a precise list.

1. Cook for 2-3 hours on Sunday or Monday.

1. Store portions in well-labeled tuppers, refrigerated or frozen.

• Cooking too much variety and getting overwhelmed.
• Not labeling tuppers correctly.
• Using containers that do not preserve flavor well.
• Not cooling food before refrigerating.
• Repeating the same flavors all week.

1. How long does food last in the fridge? Between 3 and 5 days depending on the dish.

1. Can I freeze everything? Not everything, but stews, legumes, and soups yes.

1. What if I don't have time for 3 hours of cooking? Divide into two 1.5h sessions.

1. Is it boring to eat the same thing? Not if you learn to combine elements well!
