Planning is the key to delicious, sustainable, hassle-free cooking. If you plan ahead, you can minimize trips to the grocery store and make good use of local seasonal foods. You can use energy-saving techniques like defrosting in the refrigerator and baking with a full oven. You can use unprocessed and bulk ingredients than require foresight or extra preparation. And you can have tasty leftovers instead of a frozen dinner that night you know you’ll be working late.
