Cook on the day

Too quick or too delicate to prepare ahead.

Three habits that save time

  • Start the grains first: they cook on their own while you prepare the rest.
  • Keep grain and sauce in separate boxes: the grain softens less on reheating.
  • Freeze the end-of-week servings and move them to the fridge the night before.
