Cooking: think BIG!

Tweet

You can freeze at least half of what you prepare and save a lot of time. * Aim to double, triple or quadruple ingredient quantities. it wont take you much more time, but you'll have one, two or three dishes that are ready in the freezer, so on at least this number of evenings you won't have to cook. this trick works just about all types of dishes. *If you make shortcrust pastry, cookie dough or pizza dough, make two or three times the quantity and freeze the excess. *Make double quantities of cakes and muffins they freeze well and are perfect for children's lunchboxes. *When making crepes, prepare a large batch and freeze what you don't eat in a stack, separated in baking paper circles. *Instead of frying onions for particular meals, consider doing a large batch at a time and freezing it in a recipe-sized portions. *By quadrupling only one dish once a week, you'll have u to 27 dishes in the freezer after two months.
