The Ultimate Make-Ahead Cookbook - by Joanne Watkinson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Make-ahead cookbook meals just got freezer friendly--now even more convenient.

Make-ahead cookbook meals let you spend more time with your family and less time cooking. The Ultimate Make-Ahead Cookbook gives you delicious recipes for amazing meals that freeze well, so you can make them when you have time and eat them when you don't.

Just an hour or two with this make-ahead cookbook is all you need to prepare an entire week's worth of fresh, homemade meals that your family will love. Two different techniques show you how to save time and money by creating several meals all at once. The batch cooking method takes just an extra 15 minutes to make four meals instead of one, while the prep now/cook later method is a super simple way to get a whole week's worth of meals into the freezer.

• Ready fast--You'll always be just a few minutes away from a delicious meal with 125 tasty recipes like Chicken Enchilada Casserole and Sweet Thai Chili Sausages.
• Planned ahead--Complete meal plans give you step-by-step instructions to prepare mouthwatering meals for a weekend with company or big family feasts.
• Cook for everyone--Color-coded labels make it a snap to choose recipes for dietary restrictions, and easy-to-read nutritional info means you know exactly what you're preparing.
