You're exhausted, the kitchen is the last place you want to be, and the takeaway menus are starting to look like a weekly expense report. This book is not about becoming a meal-prep guru or spending your entire Sunday chopping vegetables. It's about one honest truth: if you cook a little more on one day, you can eat three different, satisfying dinners with almost zero effort on the other two. No complicated systems, no special equipment, and absolutely no shame about using your freezer or a jar of passata. You'll learn how to build a single base—a soup, a stew, a baked dish—and turn it into two more meals that taste completely different. We'll show you exactly which shortcuts work, how to store safely without a PhD in food science, and what to do when you only have fifteen minutes and a microwave. Every recipe is written for a small kitchen, a tight budget, and a tired brain. Part of The Tired Cook's Library.
