Batch-cooking is a brilliant way to save time and money while helping minimise food waste. It’s comforting to know there’s a meal on standby in your freezer or that last night’s leftovers can be reworked into something just-as-spectacular during the week.

These are our best batch cook recipes, each including how to revamp the dish for serving the second time around. Transform a classic bolognese sauce into a rotolo pasta bake or use yesterday’s meatballs to fill our tantalisingly cheesy sub rolls. These really are recipes that keep on giving!
