In this book, you will learn how to create catering-quality, gourmet meals made heat-and-serve convenient. You can enjoy all the benefits of freezer meal cooking - time and cost savings, convenience, and shareability - while also genuinely enjoying the food you've prepared. Why? Because getting families around the table is essential. Most of us live super busy lives between work, school, kids' activities, family responsibilities and social lives. As simple as it sounds, an enjoyable meal around the table - talking, listening, sharing stories and delicious food - are the things that make family and friends feel connected. This book shows you innovative ways to prepare freezer-ready make-ahead meals that taste delicious, have great texture, and preserve the same freshness after six months in the freezer as they had the day you created them. Plus, Chef Gail will share her favorite meal-prep technique, "eat some, freeze some" to save hours in the kitchen and keep your freezer stocked with delicious, gourmet heat and serve meals.
