Agile in the kitchen

About

Welcome to Agile in the kitchen! I’m Josefine and I am here to share with you batch cooking recipes that are easy, freezable and adaptable.

I am the cook and creator of all the recipes you find here. Some recipes have followed me from childhood, others I have picked up along the way. So pour yourself a cup of coffee, have a cinnamon roll and join me on this journey.

I started big batch cooking as a way to avoid spending time in the kitchen every night, especially when living in a crowded flat in London with both three and four flatmates, where kitchen time and space was a puzzle each night. Batch cooking and freezing meals provided me with a home cooked meal every night and a healthy lunch without encroaching on my flatmates kitchen time.

Agile in the kitchen is a play on words for my tendency of making up variations of the same recipe and my day job as a gymnastics coach. It was a very long time since I was agile on the competition floor, but I can still use my agility in the kitchen. Join me in this endeavour and learn with me along the way.

For a place to start, I suggest the recipe that started this journey, my homemade tomato sauce that have several different variations or my hearty black bean soup. Both recipes are batch cooking recipes I have made for years that fulfill all three requirements of easy, freezable and adaptable to start building your meal plan.
