FAQs
How do I plan my one-pot stoups, stews and curry meals?
Each recipe is good both for lunch and as a dinner and can be easily integrated into a meal plan with 4-6 meals/snacks per day. They are also ideal for batch cooking and freezing making them an essential time saver especially when you run late and need to find something healthy and filling to eat.
On busy days when I don’t want to deal with preparing a different lunch and dinner every day I find it very useful to leave an extra portion in the fridge and then warm it up for lunch. This gives me an extra 30 minutes in the morning which is a lifesaver especially when school starts, the streets get busier and life gets hectic!
Never cooked before?
If you’re not used to cooking start now! Learning to cook is the best thing you can do for your health. These recipes are very simple to follow with a few basic ingredients and condiments. So usually it’s just a matter of putting some ingredients in a pan, frying, adding liquids and spices, leaving everything to simmer.
Another important thing is to follow the recipes using the proper quantities. Don’t try to reduce any fats thinking you’ll lose weight faster or be afraid to eat the right kind of fats because your doctor told you to control your cholesterol levels. Skipping the oil, adding or reducing the meat or beans, or adding bread or grains to your food is going to make the meal unbalanced.
