What food can I make in advance to give to someone?

[meltedmarsbars]

...who is in a bit of a crisis? I mean things for her and her 2 dc's to heat up and eat later, iyswim?

What works best, looks appetising and is easy to reheat?

Any suggestions gratefully received. I'm not doing a massive cookathon, more of a "make a bit extra" for them.

Fish pie/shepherds pie/casserole

I often make a big fish pie and give a smaller one to our neighbour. Its no more work. I give it to her ready to cook, ie the fish inside raw still, then it just needs 25 mins in a hot oven.

Lasagne?

Sounds like you are a good friend btw meltedmarsbars.

Fruit crumble, salmon/broccoli/pasta bake, meat pie, fishcakes, irish stew, chilli, curry, couscous with roast veg. All freezable and easy to reheat

HTH and hope your friend is doing ok

Curries, Spaghetti Bolognese, Chilli Con Carne/Veggie Chilli, Stroganoffs. They will have to do their own rice/pasta but nothing too strenuous, can even eat with a baked potato.

Taffeta - I hadn't thought of leaving the dish uncooked, I'd only thought of cooked stews etc.

Doing the occasional pudding is a good idea.

Thanks, all.
