The Batch Cook Book - Out October 22nd

PRESS RELEASE

THE BATCH COOK BOOK BY SAM GATES

Delicious, healthy, make-ahead recipes which save both time and money 

It feels as if we’re busier than ever: families, office workers, teachers, carers, nurses. Everyone. Business people, celebrities. Busy, busy. Nutrition and sustenance are the very ingredients to a life well lived, and have never been more important – they are the fuel that keeps us all in the race. We all want to eat better, and to stress less, and to reduce waste – all without spending more than we have to. After months in lockdown, our cooking repertoires may have become tired and old, so many of us seek exciting and new recipes which manage to be delicious and healthy, not to mention straightforward, reliable and which satisfy even the fussiest of eaters.

This is where The Batch Cook Book comes in. Fitting right in to busy lifestyles, the mouth-watering new recipes come with hints and tips for the best batch and meal prep techniques. Each chapter is full of fresh ideas, from preparing key ingredients to whipping up perfectly portioned meals for simple suppers and bold, big-hearted feasts for friends and family.

This is a book for every cook, packed with ideas for summer tomato gluts, rousing bleary-eyed family members (teenagers!) with wafts of cinnamon or how to fill your freezer with delicious sweet treats, takeaway toasties, luscious lasagnes and hearty stews. The Batch Cook Book has everyone covered.

Author Sam Gates worked as the marketing director of the UK’s first food channel before starting her own company, working with clients such as BBC Food, BBC Radio and small food producers. Her first family cookbook Food for Your Brood was published in 2015, followed by the hugely popular The Tin and Traybake Cookbook in 2018. She is a member of The Guild of Food Writers and also runs cooking classes for corporates, schools and charities. Juggling family, work, life and cooking was the inspiration behind The Batch Cook Book and its budget-friendly, low-waste recipes. Sam has been batch cooking since she was a frugal student, and now as a working mum to a hungry family (and even hungrier rescue dog) it’s become a way of life.
