If you cook regularly, the hardest part isn’t the cooking. It’s the deciding.
That question tends to creep in around lunchtime. What are we doing for dinner. By mid-afternoon it can feel oddly heavy, even if you actually enjoy being in the kitchen. I don’t mind cooking. I do mind the constant decision-making, the half-plans, and the feeling that every day starts from scratch. Over time, that’s what wears you down. What’s helped me most is planning meals that carry over. This week, for example, I’m making a curry. (Watch out for my Friday Live video) One proper cook, then dinner is sorted, with leftovers that genuinely work the next day. Sometimes it becomes lunch. Sometimes it’s a second night with rice or flatbreads. Same base, different meals, no extra thinking. I always try to include one or two meals like this each week. Not because I want to eat the same thing endlessly, but because it frees up headspace. Once one dinner is properly accounted for, the rest of the week feels lighter. Planning doesn’t have to mean rigid meal plans or complicated prep. It can be as simple as choosing food that does more than one job. That’s the thinking behind this curry. It’s comforting, flexible, and made to be cooked once and used well. Want the recipe?
