This infographic post for batch cooking tips is inspired by another post on batch cooked bolognese.

Batch cooking is a great way to save time, save money and eat healthier. Use your spare time wisely to cook something larger that takes a little while, cool, portion and freeze and you have a whole bunch of meals ready to go very very quickly. This makes good use of your freezer, healthier than a ready meal and cheaper than a takeaway!

The techniques in this infographic can be used for a wide variety of different dishes: chilli, lasagne, soup, stew, casserole and many others. Check it out!

which ingredients does heston blumenthal use?

This word cloud gives a flavour of what Heston Blumenthal puts in his recipes. Phrases in a larger font are used more often (yum, butter).

It’s been made by pulling all the ingredient text from his four major domestic cookery books and firing it into the excellent Wordle engine.

It shows that despite his reputation for off-the-wall, odd ingredients, the base of his cooking is comforting and familiar. Over and over the combination of thyme, rosemary and bay occur. Parsley abounds. A typical soffrito of carrot, onion, celery and / or leek is very common. And look what else: butter, sugar, milk, cream, flour, eggs… it takes a long time to get to anything obscure. He definitely has specific favourites: banana shallots, fructose, sherry vinegar, button mushrooms crop up again and again.

This infographic props up the vision of the chef that I have in my head: looking to the future with a head firmly rooted in tradition.
