Some can also be frozen. If you are cooking for yourself, try making some of the recipes for two and storing the extra portions in the freezer. You can also double up the quantities in all of the recipes if you wish. This way youll always have a fantastic selection of meals that you can pull out and reheat at the end of a busy day. However, it is important to make sure you know how to freeze safely. Wrap any food to be frozen in rigid containers or strong freezer bags.

This is important to stop foods contaminating each other or getting freezer burn. Label the containers or bags with the contents and date your freezer should have a star marking that tells you how long you can keep different types of frozen food. Never freeze warm food always let it cool completely first. Never freeze food that has already been frozen and defrosted. Freeze food in portions, then you can take out as little or as much as you need each time.
