Recipe books or websites for 6+ servings please!

Most recipes I currently use are for 4 servings. I'm due a baby and want to switch to making 6-8 servings of everything so we can have leftovers for lunch or for freezer.

I know you can double most recipes, but the calculations annoy me and some things may not turn out right.

Anyone got any recommendations on books or websites which most recipes are 6+ servings?

Thanks

Have you come across tamingtwins? Loads of family recipes and things that can be batch cooked and frozen, and while base recipes are usually for 4 you can amend the quantity on each recipe and it calculates the larger quantities for you.

Sainsburys have a good choice of recipes for 6+ https://www.sainsburysmagazine.co.uk/recipes/batch-cooking

A lot of the recipes on this page also serve 6+ https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/collections/freezable_recipes

And a couple of others that I know of on the bbc website (which are also freezable):

Chicken parmentier https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chicken_parmentier_25434

Cassoulet https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/our_special_cassoulet_05208

The Tesco recipe site has a filter for the number of servings. My favourite freezable 6-serving recipes include:

Chicken and sweetcorn pie https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/chicken-and-sweetcorn-pie.html

Healthier shepherds pie https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/healthy-shepherds-pie.html

Cassoulet is a hearty dish but with a few little tweaks we’ve reduced the calorie count while keeping the big flavours.
