Meal preparation saves us time, money and stress. It’s a huge trend on social media, but how do we make it work in our real, messy lives? Ruth Alexander meets Hannah, a busy working mother who wants help making mealtimes easier, quicker, and more varied. Could batch cooking be the answer? Offering advice and inspiration are Jess Rice and Kevin Currie of the American website Budget Bytes, who have almost two million followers on their Fit Men Cook social media account. And if you’ve ever wondered whether that leftover food is safe to eat, or how long you should let hot food cool on the kitchen counter before freezing it, Natalie Stanton, who trains chefs in food safety, has advice.
