Batch cooking is a method of organizing the work that allows you to cook all the meals of the week in advance, in just one moment. You can cook all at once: the prepared food is kept in the fridge or freezer so you have it ready immediately when needed in the following days. Plan ahead and cook in advance on Sunday in less than three hours!
