If you’re going to be feeding vegans on a regular basis, an alternative 10-minute meal strategy is to make a large quantity of a recipe, freeze it in microwaveable boxes and reheat when required. Instant vegan meal! Chillies, curries, soups and casseroles are particularly good for freezing and reheating.

These recipes work particularly well for freezing: spicy bean and vegemince chilli, lentil and butternut squash curry, leek and potato soup, chunky lentil, courgette and red onion soup, quick vegemince spaghetti bolognese, mixed vegetable dhansak.
