Get Ahead Meal Prep

You know those weeks when dinner feels sorted and you look like you’ve got your life together? This collection is how we get more of those weeks. Whether you’re cooking for the freezer, prepping for lunches, or just trying to get ahead before the wheels fall off midweek, these recipes are designed to give you a serious head start.

Think Quick Coconut Chicken Curry – super fast, super flavourful and just as good reheated. Cold Sesame Peanut Pasta Salad is a lunch prep dream: fresh, nutty and holds up beautifully in the fridge. Then there are Cottage Pie and Meatballs with Gravy – both ideal for batch-cooking and freezing in portions, so Future You can breathe a little easier. And don’t forget Lamb Kofta with Fattoush Salad – a fresh, prep-ahead option that makes weekday lunches feel way more exciting than they have any right to be.

These meals don’t just save time – they save stress, save your budget, and save you from staring into the fridge at 6 pm wondering what went wrong.
