This book is fine? Like meh? The recipes are good for meal prepping but I thought it would be heavier on the how-to side of prepping components. What I am looking for, which the book never promised tbf, is tips on how to freeze things properly, how to make sure your pre-sliced veggies don’t get slimy, meal charts (eg eat salads early in the week and soups later) and prep charts (“while the veggies are in the oven…”). Does anyone know of a good book that teaches these things? Girlfriend’s tip to “leave headspace in your mason jar when freezing liquids” ain’t gonna cut it lol.

There is a womderful guiding light for building meals buried in the middle of the book: a green, a grain, a bean, a sauce. I so wish the book was organized on that mantra. Pick 3 from each category and you got meals for a week! Alas, it was not to be…. But maybe I should work on building a Notion template based on this idea
