Budget Recipes, Meal Prep and Leftovers

Cheaper recipes, batch cooking and leftovers. Budget recipes name the ingredient that drives the cost, so you know which one to swap if your shop changes. Meal prep recipes list how many days they keep in the fridge and whether they freeze. Leftover recipes start from a cooked ingredient and show how to turn it into a different meal. Batch cooking works best when you prepare one base and vary it through the week, and the notes suggest how. Storage times follow basic food-safety guidance: chill cooked food within two hours and eat it within the time stated on the recipe.
