Love these ideas! For years I made excuses that I was too busy to cook healthy food from scratch and relied on frozen food, ready meals and takeaways. I started batch cooking like this about 18 months ago and not only lost a ton of weight from it but also found a love for cooking too. It’s my favourite part of the day now. Whenever people ask me advice on how I did it cause they’re too busy to cook to be healthy, I always tell them to dedicate a couple of hours 1 day a week to prep and batch things and you’re sorted for the whole week and much healthier for it ❤️
Really enjoyed this video Kerry! A lot of the ppl I watch who batch cook are from over the pond, so it was so good to see someone from the UK doing it xxx
@@KerryWhelpdale be a good idea to do the after also (how you defrost/heat up) I mean I doubt there is any of them meals left at this point 😂 all looked so delicious 😋. Lisa xxx
I enjoy your videos. You are nice and calm. And this kitchen of yours is a dream!!! I don't have a freezer so there won't be a prep like yours but I would definitely try some of the recepies. I love trying out new things.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this video.. you could always prep 2/3 of these meals at once and keep them in your fridge :) saves so much time and so handy to just pull out a ready made meal :) xxx
Hi Kerry, love this. I really like the way your vlogs are positive and not too complex (I mean that in the nicest way)I also so chopped celery and raw peppers in curries for a bit of crunch. Take care xxx
I made everything from this video today, only took me just over an hour which was amazing!! We had the lasagne tonight and it was delicious. Thank you so much. I would love more videos like this x
I would recommend flour first, it bonds into the chicken flesh, then egg which bonds with the flour, then breadcrumbscoating. this way the coatng stays on the chicken.
Great video as always Kerry. A little tip when peeling ginger, to make sure you there's hardly any waste, you can peel it with a teaspoon. Sounds crazy but it really works! I'm going to batch cook some curry paste, have never thought of making my own before so thanks for that xx
Have to say I've compiled lists of your recipes in a notebook, as so far my partner and I have loved all of the ones we've tried! So thank you for these videos, I've found them more useful in daily life than a lot of cook books I've bought! x
Thank you so so much for such a lovely comment :) I am so happy to hear this and I really hope one day I can bring out a recipe book to go alongside my videos too :) thank you for watching my videos.. it really does mean so much to me :) xxx
Wow what an epic cooking session! Love that shot where you are blitzing the soup, while stirring the pot with the browning veg, checking the mince in the frying pan and thinking about getting your 2 curries started 😅 Now you can relax re cooking for the rest of the week, nice thought. Good to see you are all fit and well. Stay safe, T 🌻 🐕
Good evening Kerry! Thank you so much for these ideas - and also great that you keep the meals on economical side too. And by the way - you look amazing in a dress :) You look great!
Aahh thank him from all of us :) batch cooking is defo the way.. I feel like I’ve been in the kitchen so much since lockdown so am so happy all our meals are cooked for this week :) xxx
Wow! How organised you are Great recipes think I will be using the ideas. Definitely the fish pie as my daughter was on about making one only last week 💕
@@KerryWhelpdale you make it all look so easy too. The kitchen has never really been my favourite place, I'm not that good at cooking. I'm surprised my 6 children and husband are still alive 😂😂😂
Helllooo - thank you so much! Great ideas - and also perfekt you put the ingredients in the info box - so I can also check in a few weeks! 👍🏻🙏🏻☺️ maybe a clip on mic could improve sound - that’s what I use 🙌🏻
Yes I do usually use a mic in my cooking videos but as I was running all over the show in this one and my speaking bits were all over the place I didn’t really know what to do about a mic.. but I do agree with u on that too :) xxx
This is great. It really shows you what can be done. Super efficient. I would love to see more like this. (Also who the heck jas thumbs downed this? ??mystifying). Have you done the Katsu curry before? This is a new dish to me and I want to see how it turns out?
Another great video Kerry (thank you) & some fabulous ideas and tips. I prefer to make my own curry pastes too but tend to only make each time I need them. So think it's a brilliant idea to make larger batch and use for couple meals of different curries in the week. Wondering now if a "huge" batch once made can be frozen for later use or stored for some time in the fridge....do you think that would be ok? These foodspiration videos are highlight of my week & now I've been introduced to a new spice to try in my curry pastes....numeric ;-) ;-) ;-) Couldn't resist-sorry (I for one am always extremely grateful for you taking time to add all the ingredients in the description box for us, even with typos). Thanks again Kerry & here's wishing you, Chris & the boys a safe and Happy upcoming week xx
I love this so much and will be following and taking some recipe ideas off you. The curry especially !! Delicious 😍 the only thing I ask mainly with the fish pie is that the sauce was poured over hot etc and the mash on top so hasn’t it started to cook the fish. Is this totally okay ? I really would love to make it xx
Yes this is how I always make my fish pie and it’s always perfect :) you could also poach the fish first and then make it up that way.. but this way is much quicker :) xxx
I’m going to link this one in my description box but I would always choose something like a kenwood if you are going to invest.. expensive but worth every penny I think :) lasts forever :) xxx
Are those the Robert Welch knives ? If so , they are absolutely brilliant ! Only thing I would say is make sure you don't put them in the dishwasher if you want them to last a long time :)
Haha the kids are always sneaking around in my videos these days!! Lol! I am originally South African but then we moved to Buckinghamshire so my accent is a little bit mixed! :) xxx
Fantastic batch cook Kerry.. only criticism is add another layer to your lasagne lol. . Also on a side note have you redone your kitchen again ? I thought it was light grey ?
No it’s the same kitchen! I think when the lighting changes throughout the day the kit hen looks different!! I would really love to change it though! Xxx
Fab! 🙌🏻 Loved the ending when either Rory or Jamie ducked down and crawled across the floor thinking no one would spot them! 😂 x
Thank you for slowing down back to enjoying the videos
Definitely more videos like these please, I really enjoyed it and it calmed me after my 1yr olds epic tantrum!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this :) I’ll defo do more like this very soon :) xxx

That's incredible, it took me over an hour to make a fish pie on Friday!! BTW if you leave your eggs in cold water they'll be much easier to peel.xxx

Oh this is perfect for me and my family right now, I will be using this for our Ramadan fasting we are doing at the moment 😉
Yes it will be absolutely perfect for that.. good luck with Ramadan :) stay safe and well :) xxx

Thank you so much Ruth :) I’m so glad you enjoy my videos :) that really does mean so much to me :) xxx
Really good motivation for meal preps.... esp for us parents during lockdown who need to avoid cooking everyday in these times for our own sanity!
I made everything from this video today, only took me just over an hour which was amazing!! We had the lasagne tonight and it was delicious. Thank you so much. I would love more videos like this x
I would recommend flour first, it bonds into the chicken flesh, then egg which bonds with the flour, then breadcrumbscoating. this way the coatng stays on the chicken.
Yes someone else said this too so I am definitely going to try that way round next time :) thanks for the tip :) xxx

Thank you ❤️
That was so good to watch Kerry the meals looked so good..I love fish so the pie was my favourite ...👍xx🍜
Hi, all of these meals look lovely. Did you make the white sauce using butter, flour and milk?
Yes just butter, flour and milk.. so quick and easy and yummy too :) xxx

Yes this is how I always make my fish pie and it’s always perfect :) you could also poach the fish first and then make it up that way.. but this way is much quicker :) xxx
Yes cool it down and then use it all.. this is the easiest way to make a fish pie :) xxx
