Get Organized with Collections

Thermomix® and Cookidoo® are here to help.

When you've got so much going on, it's important to plan ahead in order to avoid feeling overwhelmed. With Cookidoo® you can create Collections made up of recipes you've chosen. So, if you know Monday nights are going to be busy once the kids go back to school, create a Collection of recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less. This way when you're pushed for time, you'll have a repertoire of meals that can be cooked and eaten before you head out the door. You could also make a Collection of meals that can be made on Sunday night with enough leftovers to reheat on Monday - simple!

It's a good idea to always include items like milk, butter, cheese, eggs and flour on your shopping list. Once you have these staple ingredients, all you need is a few extras and you'll have a meal! For example, to make Quiche Lorraine you just need to buy a little cream and some bacon to the ingredients you already have, and you've got a hearty dish for the whole family.

Our Top Tips

• Plan Ahead Especially during the first few weeks of the kids going back to school, make your life as easy as possible by relying on simple, make-ahead dinners with leftovers that can be reheated. Simply search Cookidoo® for main dishes that serve 8 people or more, to ensure you'll have lots of leftovers. If you've got your eye on a recipe that only serves 4 people, try bulking the meal out with bread or baked potatoes to make it go further.

• Team Work Invite your family to get involved with meal planning! Get together each week to browse Cookidoo® and invite everyone to pick one or two recipes they'd like to eat that week. If they've chosen meals they love, they're a lot more likely to eat them!

• Lay a Good Foundation Use the last few days of the summer holidays to get back into a routine. Prepare meals over the weekend, create a meal plan, and organize your kitchen in preparation for the new school year.

• Enjoy Yourself Even when the days pass too quickly, don’t forget to have fun with your loved ones, and cook with love and your Thermomix®.
