Curry is a great option to cook in batches and freeze. For a rich masala flavour, blend two red chillies, two cloves of garlic, a white onion and a thumb of ginger into a paste. Heat some oil in a deep pan and add cumin seeds to heat for a minute or two before adding ground cumin, turmeric and coriander; one tbsp of each. Once you can smell the aroma, it’s time to add chickpeas and coconut milk, bring to a simmer and add spinach. Divide into containers, freeze, and heat with rice or flatbreads for an authentic Indian taste at your convenience.

For those that like their breakfast fast, or simply want to make their daily nutrition boost a little easier, frozen smoothie packs are a dream come true. Slicing fruit, especially seeded or stoned fruits, can be a time-consuming chore and is easily put off until the fruit goes rotten. However, spending half an hour or so on slicing up a week’s worth is a sound investment. Simply slice your mixed fruits of choice and place in freezer bags with the desired amount.

Everyone loves a pie. Easy to make in large portions and perfect to freeze, make your next Sunday dinner a long-lasting treat for the week. For a simple steak and mushroom pie; fry a sliced beef joint in vegetable oil and set aside whilst sweating onion, mushrooms and thyme in another pan. When ready, add everything to a large casserole dish and simmer with the lid on for 2-3 hours before brushing with egg white and covering with pastry. Once covered, crimp the edges, pierce the top, and it’s ready to bake.
