Chicken mince pesto pasta
This quick dinner recipe can be made in just 15 minutes. It’s a crowd pleaser so we’d recommend you double the recipe and have a few containers of leftovers in the fridge or freezer. We love it with nutty wholemeal or spelt spirals where the sauce can really coat the pasta. We’ll often add some extra green in as well—use up leftover veg from the fridge or add some frozen spinach.

Chinese Beef Brisket
If you are yet to try cooking your own brisket, this is the recipe for you. Fork tender brisket, packed with flavour, perfect for cooking in advance or batch freezing and sure to impress whoever is lucky enough to get a seat at your table. You can make this recipe quickly with a pressure cooker, slowly in the slow cooker and somewhere in between on the stovetop.

Italian overnight lamb shoulder or leg
It doesn't get any easier than this slowly roasted lamb shoulder/leg, cooked overnight, including the sauce to go with. All you need to do to bring this to the table is cook some rice, pasta or potatoes and given the sauces a quick blitz with a stick blender. This is a favourite that we make time and time again. It can be made one or two days before you need it and leftovers freeze exceptionally well.

Paprika chicken drumsticks with cucumber salad
Chicken marylands are a superbly tasty cut of chicken with the brown meat of the chicken and thigh combined in one piece. Anything cooked with bone in tends to yield exceptional flavour. We love this with the cucumber salad we've included the recipe for below but this would pair lovely with rice or starchy potatoes if you want to turn this into a meal that you can batch freeze or to enjoy in the depths of winter.

Lamb mince shepherd's pie
Shepherd's pie is a brilliant batch cook meal as leftovers freezes well and can be heated easily. We love to double this recipe and either make two (freezing one complete meal for the future) or making one large pie and freezing individual portions of leftovers to enjoy whenever your need a ready meal or lunch. Pies don't have to be round so cook this in whatever ovenproof bakeware that you've got.
