Batch Cooking & Freezer Meals
Cook once, eat well all week - smart batch cooking for busy lives
Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by having to cook supper EVERY. SINGLE. DAY? Want a more inspiring option than soulless, identikit recipe boxes? Whether you're feeding a family, juggling a busy week or just want to avoid the midweek dinner panic, this class will change how you cook. You’ll learn clever batch-cooking techniques, get versatile recipes to take home and leave with recipes to stock your freezer with feel-good food. What you will learn: This is a small group cookery demonstration, designed to give you techniques and understanding you can use at home. You will learn how to: • Batch cook meals efficiently • Plan timings and storage for a week of dinners • Prepare freezer-friendly, family-friendly recipes • Add herbs, spices, and flavour to make meals exciting • Recreate dishes at home with confidence You’ll learn how to make: • Tinga de pollo - Mexican chicken stew • Herby meatballs - perfect in flatbreads with yoghurt and pickles, and in rich tomato sauces with pasta • Veggie enchiladas • Crispy chilli & garlic oil - the ideal spicy kick for 100s of dishes • Crusty Mediterranean vegetable parcels - veg-packed AND so tasty that everyone devours these What the experience feels like: Held in Laura’s kitchen in Motcombe, Dorset, with a maximum of six guests. Unhurried and welcoming, you’ll watch, taste, ask questions, and then sit down to enjoy the lunch together. More like being invited to a friend’s for supper than a formal lesson, it’s a relaxed food experience as well as a learning one. Who the class is for: • Busy parents and anyone short on cooking time • People seeking calm, high-quality food experiences in Dorset • Anyone who prefers small, personal demonstration-style cookery classes where the focus is on watching and tasting rather than performance • No prior experience needed Practical details: • Location: Motcombe, Dorset • Price: £100 per person • Group size: 6 people max • Duration: 4 hours, including eating together • Dietaries: please enquire when booking and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements • Age: over 16s only Booking: Dates are limited to keep the class small, personal and unhurried.
